okay ... got a few questions about some feats/items that i'm going to stack together around here (others are free to do the same thing :P)
1. Since Sage Advice have said that Turning undeads is indeed a charisma check and thereby is supported by 'Circet of Persuasion' then i wondered ... does Divine Grace (paladin 2) makes your saves into a charisma-based check as well (along with the 'original abilitymodifiers)?
2. Is gaining a title and some land against Vow of Poberty since you then own something, even if you submit the land to a church?
3. Is using Tomes of *xxx* for permanent Stat raise against Vow of Poberty?
4. Does Amulet of Mighty fists and Bracers of Striking stack?

what happened to the queen? she's much more hysterical than usual
She's a women, it happens once a month |

Can't help with the others off-hand, but
4. The bracers and amulet do two very different things (bracers essentially grant a bonus feat, while the amulet grants a bonus to attack & damage), so there is no reason they wouldn't stack.

Yes. The Bracers of Striking simply grant their user free access to the Improved Unarmed Strike feat. Furthermore, they can be modified with special weapon qualities of their own, and count as a bludgeoning double-weapon when doing so. The Amulet of Mighty Fists, on the other hand, grant an enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.
They're two completely different things, and their abilities do indeed work conjointly.

But what does it matter? For all men must die, and I've tasted the Dornishman's wife!" |

"When using flurry of blows, a monk may attack only with special unarmed strikes or with special monk weapons (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham). She may attack with unarmed strikes and special monk weapons interchangeably as desired. For example, at 6th level, the monk Ember could make one attack with her unarmed strike at an attack bonus of +3 and one attack with her special monk weapon at an attack bonus of +3. When using flurry of blows, a monk applies her Strength bonus (not STR bonus x1.5 or x0.5) to her damage rolls for all successful attacks, whether she wields a weapon in one hand or both hands. The monk can't use any weapon other than a special monk weapon as part of a flurry of blows."

Sorry about that, Sian. I must have read your other post too quickly.

Yes. If you wield a special monk weapon in each hand, you're still entitled to the standard flurry of blows attack bonus appropriate for your level. If you choose to, you may attack twice with either weapon, or with both, interchangeably. You also have the option of taking the Two-Weapon Fighting feat to gain an off-hand attack in addition to the extra attack granted by flurry of blows (the penalty from two-weapon fighting stacks with the penalty from flurry of blows).
Let's use Ember, a 6th level monk as an example: She can normally make one attack per round at a +4 bonus. When using flurry of blows, she may make two attacks (using unarmed strikes or any special monk weapon she holds) each at a +3 bonus (the penalty from furry of blows lessens from -2 to -1 at 5th level, and at 9th level, it disappears entirely). If she wants to make an extra attack with her off-hand, she has to accept a -4 penalty on her primary hand attacks and a -8 penalty on her off-hand attacks (assuming she wields a light weapon in her off-hand).
If Ember has two-weapon fighting, she has to accept only a -2 penalty on all attacks to make an extra attack with her off-hand. Thus, when wielding a light weapon in her off-hand during a flurry of blows, she can make a total of three attacks, each at a total bonus of +1. At least one of these attacks has to be with her off-hand weapon.
And, for the sake of completeness, unarmed strikes are always considered light weapons.
