Versatile Unarmed Strike

[Drakos]

I would like to see the Versatile Unarmed Strike feat added.

This is a feat from D&D (players Handbook 2) that allowed you to do Bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage with your Unarmed Strike. It requires that you have Improved Unarmed strike. This would be of great benefit to those Monks who prefer to fight Unarmed to emphasize the strength of the class (improved unarmed damage).

[Goldeneye]

That would be nifty.
I say the devs should implement either:

• Versatile Unarmed Strike

or

• Handwraps with glass shards or shortwords duct-taped to them..... which would count as peirce/slashing

Beter make sure the backside of the glass and swords are dulled first, otherwise they would be considered Vicious Handwraps.

what's wrong with 2d6 more damage?

I suppose a light side monk using Positive attack could heal back some of the vicious damage so yeah, go with the vicious.

[Asketes]

Hey now, my dark monk would use those too!


*evil grin* make those healers heal my butt. hehe

Doesn't touch of death count as untyped already?

I'd rather have swordchucks.

It wouldn't be bad to add Versatile Unarmed Strike, although it would be unlikely monks would actually spend a feat just for such low-priority tasks as punching zombies and rakshasas.

I earlier suggested that monks be allowed to not only spend a general feat on VUS, but also to choose to swap Draconic Vitality for it.

Fanged Wraps, end reward from Splinterskull. Yeah they're only +1, but there you go.

Oh yeah, I know they have them, in fact I've seen Vicious Handwraps in the AH.

Are those Fanged Wraps worth it? I am lvl6 monk, and have finished the Splinterskull series for the second time. I took the visors of flesh render guards the first time around...considering the fanged wraps this time. Fanged Wraps have vicious and maining on them plus a +1 enhancement bonus (like everything else!). Worth it, or skip it?

supposedly, but then my combat log says: piercing damage.

who knows

Add Bladed Gauntlets and count them as an Unarmed type weapon.
