I've seen the Monk go through a bit of errata and I'm trying to get a character straight so I have a few questions about the general state of the Monk.
1) I saw the post on some monk errata on the Paizo blog ( http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5le61?Monkeying-Around ) Is there any more errata that is applied to the monk as written or is this the final form of the base monk?
2) I'm reading conflicting messages on how the Cestus and Brass Knuckles function with a monk's unarmed strike. I read the line " While wearing a cestus, you are considered armed and your unarmed attacks deal normal damage." and interpret it to be that the monk at lvl 1 would deal 1d6 damage with it as opposed to 1d3. This conflicts with the listed damage of 1d4. Is 'normal defined as the damage that the weapon lists or the damage that the wielder does with his/her fists?
3) Speaking of the cestus I thought I saw the listed damage as 1d3, did this change and if so when?
4) When wielding a cestus or brass knuckles it says the language says that you are using unarmed strikes technically. In situations like Domain Strike where you get an ability via your unarmed strikes does a cestus prevent these abilities considering that It's possibly the weapon, not the fist, that's doing the damage?
5) Same as question 4 only in regards to making my fists count as magical or cold iron. If I use ki to make my fists count as a kind of weapon to overcome DR will a cestus block this and deal damage according to what the cestus is made of?

2) Cestus and Brass Knuckles do not deal unarmed strike damage. They are Monk weapons that deal listed damage.
3) Cestus is 1d4.
4) They are Monk weapons, not unarmed strikes.
