Prerequisite: Dex 15.
Benefit: Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6.
Normal: See Two-Weapon Fighting table.
| Circumstances | Primary | Off hand |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Penalty | -6 | -10 |
| Light Off hand weapon | -4 | -8 |
| Two-Weapon Fighting Feat | -4 | -4 |
| Two-Weapon Feat + Light Weapon | -2 | -2 |
Monks empty hand attack is considered a "light" weapon, so Monks with this feat could make a second (off hand) attack at only the -2/-2 penalty.

Improved Unarmed Strike [General]
You are considered to be armed even when unarmed.

In addition, your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your option.
Normal Without this feat, you are considered unarmed when attacking with an unarmed strike, and you can deal only nonlethal damage with such an attack.
