The Ki Weapons feature of the Monk of the Empty Hand sates this:
"At 5th level, a monk of the empty hand may spend 1 point from his ki pool as a swift action to deal damage equal to his unarmed strike damage with an improvised weapon for 1 round. At 11th level, the monk may spend ki to grant an enhancement bonus or magical weapon abilities to an improvised weapon for 1 round, at the rate of 1 point of ki per +1 bonus or its equivalent. The monk may not spend more than 3 points of ki at one time for this purpose. For example, a monk can spend 2 points of ki to give his improvised weapon a +1 enhancement bonus and the ki focus quality, or just the flaming burst quality. At 15th level, the limit increases to 5 ki per round. The monk may use this ability to add magical weapon qualities to improvised weapons that could not normally have such a quality, such as adding the disruption quality to a slashing weapon, or the vorpal quality to a bludgeoning weapon."
My question is: Can I apply the enhancement bonus to my unarmed strikes, rather than an improvised weapon?
I want to truly have empty hands.
(I'm playing a level 12 monk with the vow of poverty, so I have ki out the butt to spend.)
Also, I'm not sure if this was addressed anywhere else; my searched turned up nothing related to this question.
