I understand the rules about Kama's [img]smile.gif[/img]

You will need Ambidexterity/TWF/(possibly ITWF) to dual-wield effectively, so either get nine ranger levels or take a few fighter levels for bonus feats. You should take these levels before L20, because we'd want to keep the AB of the character high.

The monk has a unique AB progression when using the Kama or fighting unarmed. Essentially, the attack progression works by decreasing in units of 3 instead of 5, and there is a bonus attack.

E.g. Billy the monk has an AB of 21. He is armed with a kama. His attack pattern looks as, 21/18/15/12/9.

If Billy was just a figher with a Kama, the attack pattern would be 21/16/11/6.

Give a monk character a second Kama and you are laughing... 6 attacks. Get improved two weapon fighting, 7 attacks. Pop on a item that gives haste, 8 attacks.
