Monk question not about HD

[Cardinal Thor]

Do monks get their additional attacks with the monk weapons listed? If not, would you rule that to include the cestus?

[Omote]

It's not exceedingly clear in the description, but no. Under the Monk special ability Hand-to-Hand Combat, it seems to make clear that these are bare-handed (or foot'd) strikes. The Primary Attack column and the Secondary Attack column are for these "hand-to-hand" attacks. Otherwise, the monk receives one melee attack per round with any other weapon like all of the other classes. I would certainly allow at my table the Cestus weapon to be used with these hand-to-hand attacks.

The verbiage in the description of the Hand-to-Hand special ability needs to be changed to include Primary Attack and Secondary Attack as part of the description.
