Monk of the Empty Hand/Rogue question.
« Topic Start: May 06, 2012, 10:43:06 PM »
Monk of the Empty Hand can use Improvised weapons and shuriken only, and can flurry with both.  The bonus feat, "Catch off Guard" states that anyone use you use an improvised weapon on is flat-footed and therefore would lose his dex modifier...  Does this mean that if I take a couple levels of Monk of the Empty Hand then multi-class into Rogue and only use improvised weapons I will be able to sneak attack with every attack?

Thanks in advance!

Could you cite the source for Monk of the Empty Hand?  The specific wording on the ability would be the biggest help.

If it's the version found here then only unarmed opponents would be flat-footed against the attacks.  Yes, you could set this up well with a rogue's SA it seems.

pft, they're flatfooted.  Use Iaijutsu focus instead of SA.  :P
