Monk: Tiger Style and AoMF

[Nezthalak]

Tiger Style grants:

Benefit: While using this style, you gain a +2 bonus to your CMD against bull rush, overrun, and trip maneuvers. You can also deal slashing damage with your unarmed strikes. Whenever you score a critical hit with your slashing unarmed strike, your opponent also takes 1d4 points of bleed damage at the start of his next two turns.

Normal: Unarmed strikes deal bludgeoning damage.

And Amulet of Mighty Fists state:

This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.

Alternatively, this amulet can grant melee weapon special abilities, so long as they can be applied to unarmed attacks.

My question is, and i think it works going by RAW, that since the Keen weapon special ability (+2 enchant) is limited to piercing and slashing weapons, that if you are going to be using Tiger Style, you could apply the Keen ability to your fists and double your crit range.

Anyone else see this as doable or am I breaking the rules?

[Exocrat]

RAW I don't think so. It says you can deal slashing damage with your unarmed strikes, not that your unarmed strikes are slashing weapons.

I think any reasonable GM would let you do it, though. Giving up that +2 on your AoMF is a big trade-off, and you could get an improved threat range with Improved Critical anyway.

[Archaeik]

Huh, this would imply that keen is normally excluded even though monsters could potentially make use of it.
Which then implies that you can't apply it to the amulet just because you can use it.

If you allow it, expect monsters to have access too.

PS Keen is a +1

[Nezthalak]

Ah, +1 makes it appetizing indeed. Was an interesting avenue and just put it up here as food for thought. Given the beating the monk is taking in the other threads tho, it may not become an issue. Might bail on the character if he keeps getting hit with the nerf stick.

Hmm, I have missed the monk threads. Which threads nerf the monk?

Single weapon vs Flurry discussion

[Mabven the OP healer]

Oh. Yeah, that didn't seem like a nerf to me, because I have always made the assumption that flurry worked exactly like TWF, but I can see how others would have interpreted it differently, and it certainly would seem like a nerf to them.
