monk / barbarian duel class issues.


Rules Questions


I have a monk barb., level 2/2. I wear armor so no flurry of blows. My feats are;
Two weapon fighting
Unarmed combat
Throw anything
Dodge.

Under the monks unarmed combat(uac) it says my damage is 1d6. But it also says uac doesn't get an offhanded attack. But it incorperates off handed attacks in fob. So is my uac damage for a full attack 1d3 or 1d6. I also have a bite attack and am thinking of adding horns. The first off attack I was taking a -5 to hit. If that is correct, what would be the modifier on the fourth attack? And is there a pfs feat for the third and fourth weapon attacks.and how far will double slice add to the off....er mouth and horn attacks?

Monk/Barbarian? I assume your race is Aasimar?

If you wanted to perform an Unarmed Strike/Unarmed Strike/Bite/Gore your attack sequence would be -2/-2/-5/-5. The -2 is from Two-Weapon Fighting, and the -5 is from combining natural attacks with "manufactured" weapons. Note that you cannot add natural attacks to a Flurry of Blows, so you'd be Two-Weapon fighting, essentially, with Unarmed Strikes.

I *believe* your bonus damage, without Double Slice, would be Full STR/Half STR/Half STR/Half STR. I can't access the feat right now, so I won't comment on its effects.

The question comes from the monk Unarmed Strike ability:

At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk's attacks may be with fist, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply his full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all his unarmed strikes.

Which would indicate that double slice would only apply if you weren't a monk and using unarmed or using weapons as expected with two weapon fighting.


Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a feat like doubleslice (adds another half strength damage to offhand attacks) for natural weapons. If they are secondary (and they will be if you mix them with 'manfactured' weapons, which is anything that can get an iterative basically), they will always only do 1/2 strength and power attack damage.

And the unarmed strike ability only applies to unarmed strikes. The quoted piece repeatedly talks about how this applies to unarmed strikes. Just because you can vaguely say you are not armed when using large horns sprouting from your head, it does not change the fact that the ability is for "for all his unarmed strikes"


Ok. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
