i know it was in 2021, but why would you ever recommend taking MOON SICKLE on a monk? XD

It offers lowest dice of damage, better healing on spells and spell DC of which you get NONE, unless you are going to multiclass into ranger or druid in which case its still a really bad choice...

Not only that, but you argue that, and i quote - " Taking the Very Rare variant with a +3 bonus could make the Moon Sickle a viable replacement for Unarmed Strikes until 5th-Level" and as we know almost every party gets a +3 weapon before level 5 XD
