Weapon finesse and 2h monk weapons.


Rules Questions


Does weapon finesse apply to 2h monk weapons? Is there written proof one way or the other? Thanks!


If you somehow have a 2 handed finesse weapon that you can use in flurry. IE- if you somehow discovered how to do somehting like flurry with an elven curved blade.


Taking Fighter's Finesse (Ex) in monk weapons would allow you to use 2h monk weapons with weapon finesse. That of course requires a minimum of 5 levels of fighter and the Advanced Weapon Training feat.

As to proof, it's in the weapon finesse feat. 2h monk weapons are not listed as working under the feat and the weapons themselves offer no exception either.

Ok, so....
Outside of light weapons, natural weapons, and one-handed piercing weapons wielded by a Swashbuckler, only the following weapons may be weapon finessed;
Aldori dueling sword(1 handed)
Bladed scarf(2 handed)
Elven branched spear(2 handed)
Elven curve blade(2 handed)
Estoc(2 handed, though special clause for one handed)
Rapier(1 handed)
Spiked chain(2 handed)
Sword cane(1 handed)
Whip(1 handed)
None of which are monk weapons.

HOWEVER
Crusader's Flurry exists!

You learned to use your deity’s favored weapon as part of your martial arts form.

Prerequisites: Channel energy class feature, flurry of blows class feature, Weapon Focus with your deity’s favored melee weapon.

Benefit: You can use your deity’s favored weapon as if it were a monk weapon.

So, if you're willing to drop one level into Crusader archetype cleric, you can flurry of blows with your deity's favored weapon.

Using this feat, Cleric/Monks of Zon-Kuthon can weapon Finesse flurry a spiked chain and Cleric/Monks of Sivanah can do such with the bladed scarf.
