Improved Ki Strike 5

Type of Feat: (Epic) Class

Prerequisite: Improved Ki Strike 4

Required for: None

Specifics: The monk’s unarmed attack counts as a +5 magic weapon against creatures with damage reduction.

Use: Automatic

As the description indicates, Ki Strike only treats the unarmed attacks as if they were magic weapons for bypassing damage reduction; it does not provide any Attack Bonus. Magic bracers with an enhancement bonus provide the same ability to bypass DR, so this feat is often not needed.
