2 Weapon Fighting

[Aladon]

Is two weapon fighting a class granted feat? It sounds like dual kamas might be the way to go for my build thanks much!

Not class granted and not available as a monk bonus feat.

The new compendium is quite handy for info like this now, btw.

Best,

The TWF feats are neither granted to monks automatically, nor on their list of bonus feats for levels 1, 2, and 6.

However, a monk build can make use of the bonus feats to free up slots for TWF, such as by holding needed things like Power Attack or Weapon Finesse.

So, does the monk # of attacks go up with unarmed or not?

This is where my complaint with the implementation of Flurry of Blows comes into play. In PnP D&D, a monk can dual wield kamas and get two attacks at first level (at -2/-2) without taking TWF feats by using Flurry of Blows. That monk could do the same thing with his fists. This way, a monk attacks as fast and accurate as a TWF rogue, but without spending feats to get there (not to mention the fact that the unarmed monk ends up doing a base of 2d10 damage).

As it stands, there is no way to attack as fast with fists as you can with dual kamas, making fists practically useless in comparison.

Personally, I say that the monk needs to be able to dual wield fists using the TWF chain, because of the way that FoB was implemented. The whole point to being a 100% monk, in PnP, was that you got those incredibly high damage fists, and you attacked as fast as a TWF person with them. Without that, there are many fewer reasons to stay 100% monk, making the class much less exciting.
