![]() You have satisfied all the criteria of the skill. Then immediately attack with your other hand, which then has Iaijutsu Focus damage applied to it. Draw the weapon as a free action as a result. So: for monks, put a Least Crystal of Return on a sai or kama. They can attack with monk weapons or unarmed interchangeably. Now, for monks, using Improved Unarmed Strike, there's no such thing as an offhand attack. It just says you attack after drawing a melee weapon. Still, there looks to be an even more ludicrous workaround: the RAW skill requires that you draw a melee weapon, but doesn't then go on to say you attack with that weapon. Pulling your hands out of your pockets probably doesn't qualify. The common response is straightforward enough: Iaijutsu per RAW only kicks in when you "draw" a melee weapon and attack a flatfooted opponent. I'm more interested in whether the skill can apply to unarmed strikes. Let's leave aside the debate whether Iaijutsu actually exists since the skill wasn't updated into 3.5. Seeing as we're on the subject, though, I did come across an interesting thought as regards the Iaijutsu Focus skill from OA. If you're wanting WIS to attack and damage, you need a single level in Shiba Protector from Oriental Adventures - though you can't get this until passing level 6, and it requires Iron Will and Lightning Reflexes, which are wasted feat slots. If you are using Oriental Adventures as well, you might want to consider the Shiba Protector class. It gives WIS to strikes, but it requires more feats. Shadow Blade + Weapons Finesse would be a good combination if you have feats to burn. You want to be a human, as the extra feat comes in handy. Three feats (four if human) of your choise (cant think of anything good right now). Superior Unarmed Strike, Improved Natural Attack (if possible), Adaptive Style and maybe Snap Kick. Maybe some Desert Wind (the first level boost if i recall correctly seems rather legit). Insightful Strike (the class feature) on Diamond Mind and Tiger Claw. Some Constitution and Intelligence are welcome.
