random queries:

Weapon finesse needed for unarmed strikes?  Believe so but asking.
Can a monk get weapon finesse with quarterstaff?

random queries:

Weapon finesse needed for unarmed strikes?  Believe so but asking.
Can a monk get weapon finesse with quarterstaff?

1. For a Monk? No, I don't see anything written for it. They get Improved Unarmed Strike for free.

2.  I believe so, yes.

[Dracos]

They do.  I was meaning for using dex with it for attack roll.  Quarterstaff isn't listed among its accepted weapons, (doesn't normally qualify I think) so I was asking.  If so for both, awesome.  That frees  up a feat.

thoughts:
Defending
Kifocus
+++++
Protection/ac up items to better be able to tank
Cloak of Displacement Minor, Bag of Holding, Item of warping back up to the top~, improved ring of prot or bracers of armor, spiked chain of defending, shirt/ring of mighty blows?
Boots of speed

Feat thoughts:
weapon focus
improved crit

char draft Not assuming I can use dex unarmed without a feat.  Wavering between quarterstaff/sai/spikedchain right now.  Probably will go spiked chain given party size and it actually giving crowd control:
Concept:  beautiful denial monk Ayane.  Focuses on stunning attacks, disarms, in and out moves, and possibly making it painful to follow.  Inside and outside of battle is charming/alluring.
Weaknesses: Rogue-killers, trip and other strength based things, non weapon users with high fort (don't have any working denials on such)

----

Minor background:

One of the brightest flowers of her dojo, Ayane is every bit as deadly as she is beautiful and has somehow maintained this despite a lifetime of physical sparring.  Of course, with her natural agility and ability to feel the flow of things, she is not hit very often.  Fairly proud of both herself and her skills, she can be quite charming when she puts her mind to it.  Believing she would not surpass her few remaining betters within the dojo, she left seeking the challenges of the outside world.  She tends to be seen dressed in her alluring purple gi, the mark of her school, Chizo, painted in silver on the back beside a fancy painting of a tengu.  Said gi provides plenty of freedom of motion, so she is always ready to fight, though some might (did) complain that it revealed far too much of what should be comfortably hidden under the top, and should also be a fair bit longer.  Again prideful (and without scars to show her wrong), Ayane has always held if an enemy is distracted by it, it is their own problem.  Swift as the wind, she is also naive of the land outside her small dojo and generally relies on natural charm and wit to hide this.  Her weapon is fairly exotic in its own right, deceptive and dangerous to approach, when not in motion, it appears a slender blue rope, flower petals of various colors growing from what seems to be fine wood, though is really hardened steel.  When in motion, its true danger becomes fairly evident as it is very dangerous to touch, sharp spikes running almost the entirety of the device, and with swift spinning motions of the flexible and long weapon can leave it very difficult to approach.  From the outside it often looks like flashes of red or green are painted against a sky full of flower petals.  Elegance is evident in most of her equipment, which looks more suited for an art house then for war.  Carrying what she does in a small pack or more often hidden over her body, she's not really one for manual labor, heavy lifting, or such things.

Krog fight. For tribe. For those of his blood.

Krog gain power in belief.

Krog want spread word of how great is, and how he live his life.

Krog know not all read.

Krog draw what know!

Krog call collection "Rules of Krog". Krog rename self Krog Wisefang.

Krog make money!

Krog fight to gain more laws!

Krog draw more!

Krog make more money!

Krog fight more!

Krog draw prettier!

And so on...

Krog's mission in life is to create a book of laws that everyone in the world can understand and may eventually follow. Or at least learn something from or enjoy. As long as little men don't blow their nose on Krog's book. Krog call that rule #24 of what not to do.

Sidenotes: Krog carry all he can with him and his little cart that he lugs around on his own, except for gear, which is always on him (except for full plate which goes off at sleep time).

Current Divy Shares:
Krog: +1 holy longsword + 13627.5 gp
Ayane: +1 bathing suit + 29627.5 gp

For Merc:

Dune will allow sellback at market prices, rather than half that.  In case you care.

Also, I'm pretty strongly interested in picking up that cloak of displacement, in case you got six thousandish left over that you don't need right now. 

[Dracos]

In Dungeon Crawling:
One is a swift footed,swim-suited, and sexy male fantasy of a ninja.  The other is a golden eyed, divine empowered, 'Special', orcish bookseller.  They fight knights of baron.

Somehow I think Merc's can be longer and funnier.  Hum, that's a liiiittle better.

<Dracos> I am getting a Belker vision in my head with Ayane.  "There's nothing here, you'd think they'd have something they were throwing away their lives to defend." "What about that giant gold statue behind you."  "what?"
