Monk bypassing cold iron and silver?


Rules Questions


So I'm helping a new player makes a character for my game. Since he has no books and I have all the core books and ultimates, I'm giving him the d20 website so we can work togheter via ventrilo. He is going for a monk and here is what he can read:

At 4th level, a monk gains a pool of ki points, supernatural energy he can use to accomplish amazing feats. The number of points in a monk's ki pool is equal to 1/2 his monk level + his Wisdom modifier. As long as he has at least 1 point in his ki pool, he can make a ki strike.

At 4th level, ki strike allows his unarmed attacks to be treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Ki strike improves with the character's monk level.
At 7th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as cold iron and silver weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
At 10th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as lawful weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
At 16th level, his unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and bypassing hardness.

So at 7th level he could bypass cold iron and silver?
I have the book in front of me and I don't see that. Can someone tell me if things have changed or is it a major error on the website?

thank you


It has recently been changed by Paizo, here's the FAQ entry: http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fm#v5748eaic9qd7

That was errata'd in this blog post. Enjoy!

You'll probably want to check out the errata for each of your books. You can find links to the errata on each product page.

Core Rulebook

Advanced Player's Guide

Ultimate Magic

Ultimate Combat

Etc.


Hrm, interesting. I don't have my books in front of me, but that 7th level entry is missing from the official Paizo PRD as well.

I'm guessing that it was an errata? Let me check...

[edit]
Super ninja'd - it was errata'd in the core rulebook errata entry.


Well seems it will be a busy day for me than...thanks a lot everyone :)
