What weapons should I carry around as a maneuver master monk? I'm level 6 (1 bloodrager/5 monk) so can use any martial weapon--though my base CMB is so high (+14 without rage/enhancement bonus/combat maneuver feats) that I can use an exotic weapon without worrying about the penalty.
But anyways, I carry around a reach weapon for AoOs and then drop it when I engage in melee (two claws while raging for full attack for 3 combat maneuvers on full attack). But there are lots of weapons that are useful for doing combat maneuvers with--so which of them should I carry around?
Dan Bong is the go to answer for grappling. Not sure about others.
The following martial weapons are probably the most useful:
Jutte (disarm, monk)
Shang gou (disarm or trip, monk)
Double chicken saber (disarm, monk)
Light flail (disarm, trip)
Bill (brace, disarm, reach, +1 shield bonus to AC when fighting defensively)
Guisarme (reach, trip)
Halberd (brace, trip)
Heavy flail (disarm, trip)
Hooked lance (reach, trip)
Ranseur (disarm, reach)
Ogre hook (trip)
Sansetsukon (blocking, disarm, monk)
Scythe (trip)
Don't forget the sickle (simple weapon; trip) and the temple sword (monks automatically gain proficiency; monk, trip), as well as other weapons that monks have proficiency with:
Kama (monk, trip)
Nunchaku (disarm, monk)
Sai (disarm, monk)
