Monk's Ki Pool vs. Damage Reduction
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2013 7:31 pm
Ken,
When leveling up Jheru, I discovered something I had been missing. His Ki Pool ability makes his unarmed attacks more potent vs. damage reduction. Overall, I knew this, but I had missed some. At 4th level, his fists count as magic, and now at 10th level, his fists count as lawful, as I was expecting. And, these are what the monk table shows. However, in the description of the Ki Pool ability, it also adds that at 7th level, his fist count as cold iron and silvered vs. damage reduction.

So, I'm not sure if this is errata or what exactly, but it seems that this will certainly help vs. some of the demonic targets we are facing. It's not a total fix, as I'm still attacking with fists versus what can be pretty horrible creatures (as Thyur discovered last session), but it will certainly help.
I included this on Jheru's stat block in the Roll Call thread for reference as well.
