Foon

[Egon the Monkey]

Yellow Rose Amulet: A golden rose pendant hangs from a minthril chain...

+1 heal
+1 natural AC
Bonus feat Ki Strike: The monk's unarmed attack counts as a magic weapon against creatures with damage reduction +1

• This feat does not provide an attack bonus; it merely allows an unarmed character to penetrate the indicated levels of damage reduction.

[Paha]

These kind suggestions are already going over. You can find a way to pass the small dr easily enough, giving something like +1 strikes permanently to monks that can already be ridiculous, is not sensible in any way.

I myself don't support any such as any random items. If they excist, they are to be earned and given to the character.

[Cerberus]

Enchant weapon spells are a dime a dozen (clerics pass them out like candy on holloween). You cant enchant gloves. Making a monk that specializes in open hand kinda usless at times. Or they have to use a weapon and lose their unarmed bonuses to be able to hit things.
 
Ki-Strike doesn't work if they arm a weapon and it does NOT grant any bonuses to hit or damage. It simply allows an unarmed monk to hit a lessor wearwolf or whatever. Their AB and damage remain what they were without having ki-strike.
 
Good thing monks are fast and able to outrun all the lycans and undead they can't hit when they see the "Weapon inafective" denote...

[Egon the Monkey]

You CAN enchant gloves on EfU, you can also GMW and flame weapon/darkfire them. You just can't Keen Edge them (big deal). This is why a monk and a buffbot are a force to behold, and Cleric/monks are rather handy.
I refer you to the mechanics page, which it's a good idea to read before claiming something doesn't work. (slightly out of date, Darkness is back to normal, but its mostly OK)


Monks can deal fine with Risers even unbuffed as they have Bludgeoning damage. In fact, it's a monk using anything BUT unarmed that sucks. Only Kamas give you monk AB, and they both have a worse damage type and lower damage than fists. Still, unless you can use a shortsword or rapier, it's hard to get an anti-werewolf emergency weapon. So, how about:

Silver Letter Opener
A letter opener cast from silver. Not much of a weapon usually, but handy against something that may fear silver's touch.
Dagger
No Damage
+1 Ab vs Shapechanger
+1d4 Cold damage vs Shapechanger.

Every class can use a dagger.

[Egon the Monkey]

Blighted Branch
A branch enchanted with druidic magics of withering and blight, created as a tool to counter excessive growth.
Club
+1d4 Negative Energy Damage vs whatever sort of creatures Shambling Mounds, Infested Treants and Assassin Vines count as.

Passion of Hoar

The blade to this sword is perfect in every sence, silver in colour, it never appears to loose it's shine. He hilt is strong, comftable and strudy. Within the center of the hilt, a broken red ruby with the emblem of hoar marked on it, rests pathetically, the word "Truth" written with golden letters adorns the hilt. It is said to have belonged to the fallen paladin Victor Tremayne who recovered it from a powerfull devil he slayed within the abyss while still on his days of glory.

Sadly not much is known of Tremayne's fate, as the records, were erased shortly after he went rogue and abandned the order. It is said that his brothers recovered the weapon from his corspe, after he was captured and executed for treason. His last words remain, however.

"Never look to deeply within yourself, for your passion may betray your oath"

[Egon the Monkey]

That is DM loot IMO. The sort of thing that's worthy of a plot.

[Drakill Tannan]

[DollarPhil]

Ambient loot, really. The sort of stuff that's common on quests or drops off wilderness spawns. Stuff that is a dime a dozen or quest flavour loot, not epic plot hooks. Anyway, I'll stop now. Hammer time.
