Does the damage dice for my attacks go up as per a monks on the natural attacks? I'm just confused as to how to read this with the phb

A natural weapon is neither an unarmed strike nor a monk weapon. Regarding the natural attack damage dice: No. The monk unarmed strike damage progression applies only to unarmed strikes. Although the monk's unarmed strike is treated as a natural weapon, a natural weapon is never treated as an unarmed strike.

It gets a +2 to Armor Class due to size. It gets a +2 to hit due to size. By 10th level, he gets +9/+9/+4 on the BAB, plus and the base damage is up to 1d6. Then throw in the weapon enhancements the smart monk will place upon his body for extra damage, and your pseudodragon is packing one heckuva wallop for such a tiny package! And having a blast doing so!
Grayson 07-01-04, 06:59 PM	Heheh, yeah. And getting the bite/sting as natural secondary attacks. Until something swats him anyways ;)

Until something swats him anyways ;) if "swat" = grapple I get to make an attack... Close Quarter fighting. and by level 10 (of monk) thats hardly a huge bonus considering the character IS ECL 10, and has 4 levels of monk... 2 being Tattooed also, Weapon Finesse from a level in Swashbuckler... oh yeah baby....
