|reason=Interesting feat, as it gives a few benefits that aren't immediately apparent. It allows them to do piercing or slashing damage should they encounter DR which calls for it. It opens up possibilities for TWF (if they can manage to deal with those penalties on top of their low attack bonus). Most notably, it gives them a feasible ranged option with the shuriken. Unfortunately, the shuriken has a small range increment which, again, is a problem due to their low attack bonus. That shuriken use is really what makes this feat worthwhile, but making a Monk able to attack at a low bonus from a short distance does not mean this feat is Fighter-level. I'll bump this up to Excellent if the balance point is changed to Monk.}} | |reason=Interesting feat, as it gives a few benefits that aren't immediately apparent.

Question
Does this apply when dual wielding Sai? 2d10 sai in each hand at level 20? It is a bit sary.--Sergejsvk 15:56, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
- No worse that one weapon with this feat + unarmed strike, a scorpion kama/no feat + unarmed strike, or two scorpion kamas. This power was purchasable via gold anyway. But to answer, yes, 2d10 for each sai. -- Eiji Hyrule 16:12, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Why is this a tagged as a fighter feat (not balance level, feat type)? --Andrew Arnott (talk, email) 20:11, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
- It seemed a suitable feat for multiclass fighter/monk types to take, being synergistic with the weapon focus tree. -- Eiji Hyrule 13:26, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
- On a related note, why is this tagged as a fighter feat (not feat type, balance level)? --DanielDraco 16:58, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Because it brings monks up a tier by giving it some damage dealing options that don't suck. And if you found ways to reduce MAD, you could turn the monk into a fighter level class. At least, that is my understanding of it. --Havvy 22:34, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Their damage potential remains exactly the same. They can just do it from slightly further away now. --DanielDraco 06:07, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
