Hello, i have a confusing question that i need answered. i was reading about natural attacks when i found this line in the rules.
Creatures with natural attacks and attacks made with weapons can use both as part of a full attack action (although often a creature must forgo one natural attack for each weapon clutched in that limb, be it a claw, tentacle, or slam). Such creatures attack with their weapons normally but treat all of their available natural attacks as secondary attacks during that attack, regardless of the attack’s original type.
now couldn't a witch-wolf skin walker Monk (or unchained monk) use his normal progressing unarmed strike (not flurry) with is knee,foot, chest or even his tail :) and then do all of his natural attacks as secondary attacks? (which multiattack would help bring that done) it says i would have to give up a natural attack (say claw) if he used a weapon in his hand. but he's not using weapons in his hands or with his head. could this work?
Sure does!
i just thought of something. couldn't i take the two weapon fighting path with unarmed strike, so when i two weapon attack with unarmed strike, i could add the natural attacks on afterwards? for a glorious attack of teath, claws, knees, tail, feet, etc! 0_o
yup. very common poster child is tengu doing kick-2/kick-2/claw-5/claw-5/bite-5 at lv1 with TWF.
RAW monk unarmed strikes do not have an off-hand, so alas, that is a negatory Ghost Rider... sorry man.
The details...
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.
Unless I am mistaken, because of the no off hand, TWF cannot interact with with it to give it an additional "off hand" attack or attacks, but I could be wrong. Of course, Flurry of Blows allows for just that, but is not TWF in and of itself for qualification or interaction purposes. (at least, that is my 2 cp.)

It's poorly worded, but what the "There is no off-hand attack for a Monk" thing is referring to is the reduction in STR bonus that applies to an attack, not that they are incapable of making an off-hand attack with an UAS.
But Monks can flurry with the same weapon, so it often wouldn't even come up, anyway.
