Monk clarification please


Rules Questions


I was looking at Monk of the Empty Hand from APG, and I have a couple of questions:

Does Weapon Finesse work with improvised weapons?

Does Weapon Finesse work for unarmed strikes?


Weapon Finesse works for unarmed strikes. I think it would work for improvised weapons so long as they're light weapons.

I suggest this gets moved, as this is in the wrong thread category.

To your questions:

Weapon Finnesse works with weapons that specifically say they can be finnessed (Rapier, Elven Curved Blade), or Light Weapons.

Unarmed Strikes are always considered Light Weapons, so yes, you can use Weapon Finnesse with them.

Improvised Weapons must be considered a Light Weapon for you to Weapon Finnesse with them. And no, I'm sure you cannot purposefully improvise weapons such as the Rapier or Elven Curved Blade and be able to Finnesse with them.
