So the Fight for Liberty trait says the following:
Fight for Liberty: You inspire slaves to fight for freedom
with a rousing battle cry. As a standard action, you may
make a rallying cry with a DC 15 Perform (oratory) check.
On a successful check, any unarmed ally within 30 feet
who is able to hear you gains a +2 trait bonus on attack
rolls with improvised weapons and unarmed strikes. This
bonus lasts for 1 round per level.
Couple of questions I had:
1. Is a monk ally considered unarmed for the purpose of benefiting from this trait?
2. Do you count as your own ally for the purpose of this trait (Hyping yourself up for the fight, I guess)
3. Why is this trait so hard to find? Its not on the OGC or the PRD, is it not PFS legal or something?
Cheers!

If the monk is using their fists they are using an unarmed strike, so yes.
They devs have said that yes, generally you count as your own ally unless doing so wouldn't make sense.
What is the source (book) of the trait? That would probably explain why it is not on the PRD.
It is in the Players Companion: Pirates of the Innersea book. Quite a good trait to take if you can constantly swing a DC 15 oratory check.

It's a standard action to provide a +2 bonus to very specific types of attack rolls. It's decent for a monk, but not insanely so. It's very similar to a aid another action. The only bonus is a monk could use it on himself. The fact that it's an AoE doesn't make much difference from a player standpoint.
As for why the trait is hard to find, you answered it for yourself. The Pirates of the Inner Sea isn't part of the OGL material held on the PRD.
Ah, that would explain why. Thankfully it appeared in the Herolab's trait list.
