I doubt a chimera would be raring to take up kick boxing. That is certainly a decision you can still make if you are a human monk polymorphed into a bear, but it is not something a real bear, awakened or not, will ever likely decide to do on their own.Īlso, while my quoted text relates mainly to animals, I would imagine that it applies at least to some degree to various creatures with animal like shapes.
Since an unarmed strike gets iterative attacks, it would generally be safe to classify it somewhere near enough to the realm of 'manufactured weapons' when it comes to the decision of "should I just bite it or do a round house kick?" No amount of training (including weapon proficiency feats) is going to make it fully comfortable attacking in any other way. An intelligent gorilla could hold or wield a sword, but its inclination is to make slam attacks. Ultimate Campaign wrote: Even if the animal is physically capable of using a tool, it might still prefer its own natural body to manufactured items, especially when it comes to weapons. The monk however may differ, since it grant the ability to make unarmed strikes with other parts of the body. An bear-wizard, can't use its paws to make somatic components due to being awakened. Getting class levels in itself doesn't grant the ability to use your form differently. Making a magical beast monk-bear, is no different from a animal monk-bear, concerning its limbs.ģb) But yes, the bear can become a monk, unarmed strikes aren't required. As such, you shouldn't look to them to determine your toothy half orc.Ģ) I haven't suggested you loose an ability you already have.ģ) For your awakened bear, you are far into GM territory already.

Can an awakened bear become a monk? The answer is YES and how can they do that if they don't have an unarmed attack? Also if what you say is true, then any PC that gains a natural attack loses the ability to unarmed attack? My 1/2orc takes toothy and now he can't punch?ġ) The universal monster rules doesn't tell us how to affect PCs (although some abilities are derived from it). Some creatures don't have weapons so the can use unarmed is a reminder that they can still attack and not a limit.
