Monk and TWF

[mzprox]

I see lots of monks taking the TWF feats, how these feats help the monk? Do they have more attacks using handwraps or the only weapons which benefit from these are kamas?

[rimble]

They benefit both Kamas and Unarmed. Furthermore, Unarmed TWFing doesn't incur the -2 ToHit penalty in the off hand, and you get full Strength damage bonus to your off-hand attacks (everyone else only gets half their Strength damage bonus). Unless you plan on doing something with Quarterstaves (though in that case I'd recommend 18 or 19 Rogue levels and 1 or 2 Monk levels) then you'll want the TWF line.

Do you mean THF line or do you mean you only want to go TWF?

If you use Quarterstaves you'll want the Two-Handed line. While there's been some discussion (with Dev commentary) about Q-Staves being converted into Double Weapons (Or having alternate types of Staves in the game) to take advantage of TWF'ing there hasn't been anything officially announced.

Yes, but the question was in clarification of the quoted comment.

It could mean that you only do not take TWF if you make a QS Monk
or
it could mean that if making a QS Monk you want the THF line (typo)

Was not sure which (if either) he meant

Q-Staves = Two Handed (It was a typo on his part)

Monk Unarmed TWF is also faster than regular TWF. Enough faster that it's slightly ahead (speed wise) of Tempest. Not much faster, but definitly faster. (And no, Air Stance wasn't used)

The TWF Feats will affect unarmed attack chain in Module 9.

They already affect the unarmed attack chain, and have for a long time.
