Monk Weapons
These specialized weapons reflect the training of a Monk. Each of these weapons requires intense study and practice to use effectively and as such they are neither Simple or Martial Weapons.
At level 1 a Monk can choose one of these categories of weapon to become proficient in. The Monk also gains a special attack with that category of weapon detailed below. A Monk that is not proficient in a category of Monk Weapons may not use this special attack.
Flexible weapons
Flexible weapons can be used to make an Entangling Attack.
Entangling Attack: A Large or smaller creature hit by a flexible weapon is restrained until it is freed. Entangling Attack has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC (8 + Proficiency + user's Strength or Dexterity bonus, as used to make the Attack roll) Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success.
Dealing slashing damage to the entangling weapon also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the weapon. A rope weapon has 5hp and AC10. A chain weapon has 10hp and AC13.
When you make an Entangling Attack, you can make only one attack with the weapon regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
