ok so im playing a monk looking to enchant my cestus

i have a Aomf giving my unarmed strike a +1 and lighting damage
(not sure if i had to have the plus 1 first like a weapon)

and looking to get 2 cestus 1 with fire one with ice

how does this work with flurry of blows

do u choose wich ones are with wich weapons and in that case do i even need 2? can i just use all attack with the 1

and as a final question do they stack with my amulet

cestus is a monk weapon (according to the PFSRD anyway) that deal 1d4 + streagth. Monk flurry is you have Two-weapon fighting when using a monk weapon. so one is your off hand, the other main hand, AoMF does not apply (you're attaking with the weapon not an unarmed strike)

I believe that's brass knuckles that do that, actually.

Cestus: While wearing a cestus, you are
considered armed and your unarmed attacks deal normal
damage. If you are proficient with a cestus, your unarmed
strikes may deal bludgeoning or piercing damage. Monks
are proficient with the cestus.


just posting what the books says not 100% sure if this means what i think

Edited because apparently i ws wrong. Cesuts look like good weapons for Monks. However your Enchantment from the amulet wont stck with an enchantment on the Cestus. they may let you do your Unarmed damage But it is not an unarmed attack you see?

The AoMF wont enchant attacks with the Cestus at all.

However the Cests are way easier to enchant than the cost of the amulet.

so would it be worth it to get 2 ? and sell the amulet>
or should i stick with one?

The brass knuckles, as presented in the new Advanced Players Guide, are a monks weapon that lets you use your unarmed damage progression. It is da bomb. Enchant and flurry away.:smallbiggrin:

Monks flurry progresses like two-weapon fighting, but is different in that may attack with any combination of monk weapons or unarmed attacks even just one weapon for your whole flurry.
