Blessed blades with Imp. Martial arts not WAI?

[Brandall]

I finally got around to making a build i'd been thinking about and Improved Martial Arts is not adding .5w to daggers.
I checked the wiki before taking it and there was a note about it not working with bows, nothing about daggers.
While the blessed blades enhancement doesn't specifically state that it makes daggers ki weapons, i gain ki on every attack, can perform finishing moves as well as monk attacks with daggers, so...

What's the deal with this? I recently (yesterday) swapped a feat, so am a bit irritated with this.

Why is everything broken in this game?

Were you referring to Deadly Blades? That is the Vistani Enhancement that allows you to be centered with Daggers.


Your daggers and throwing daggers do an additional +1(W) of damage. You are centered when fighting with daggers.


Blessed Blades is this:


Blessed Blades: Requires dagger. Melee attack. +5(W) damage, plus one stack of Blood of Vengeance. Your equipped daggers gain a +10 Enhancement bonus for 10 seconds. They also gain Silver, Good, and Ghost Touch. 10 second cooldown.
Blessed Knives: Requires throwing knife. Missile attack. +5(W) damage, plus one stack of Blood of Vengeance. Your throwing knife gains a +10 Enhancement bonus for 10 seconds. It also gains Silver, Good, and Ghost touch. 10 second cooldown.


It doesn't say they are Ki weapons, though. Just that you are centered.

Which is the same thing that Kensai says in One with the Blade:


One With The Blade: Passive: +20 Melee and Ranged Power. Your melee Focus weapons are considered Centering. While Centered, you may gain various benefits from levels in Monk or as a Grandmaster of Flowers.


Basic Ninja Training, however, says this:


Basic Ninja Training: While you are centered, you can use your Dexterity modifier to hit. You are proficient with short swords and treat them as Ki weapons. If another ability allows you to remain centered while wielding other types of melee weapon, then those weapons will also get the benefit of Ninja Training.


Neither Whirling Steel Strike (Longswords) or Zen Archery (Long/Short Bows) grants the dice add from Dance with Flowers or Improved Martial Arts. Both make their weapon types centered weapons, however, and Zen Archery specifically mentions making bows a Ki Weapon. It appears from the wiki quote of developer SqueekofDoom, that Improved MA, Combat Archery, and Dance with Flowers not adding to bows is an issue. And, hence, not WAI.

I am not certain if this is a bug or WAI with the daggers. I'd file a bug report, just to be safe.
