Ascetic Style
Ascetic Style
- Requirements: Improved Unarmed Strike , BaB 1, 10 EXP
Choose one specific type of weapon (such as blades, axes, etc.). While using this style and wielding a weapon of your chosen type, you may deal your Unarmed Strike damage in place of the weapon's damage.
Ascetic Form
- Requirements: Ascetic Style, BaB 5, 20 EXP
You may apply the effects of Talents that affect or otherwise augment unarmed strikes. For example, this Style allows you to use Path of the Perfect Self Talents through the chosen weapon, such as Stunning Fist or Flurry of Blows.
Ascetic Strike
- Requirements: Ascetic Form, BaB 8, 30 EXP
You may spend 5 TP as a Full Round Action to make a devastating single attack. Roll one attack at your highest Base Attack Bonus, and gain a +1 bonus on the attack roll for every additional attack you would normally be capable of making. Upon a successful hit, you deal damage as if all attacks you were capable of making hit successfully. Missing the attack still expends the TP.
For example, if Shozin the warrior has a Prowess of 11, he may spend 5 TP to make an Ascetic Strike against his chosen target. Because his Prowess is 11, Shozin would normally have 3 attacks as part of a Full Attack Action, meaning he gains +2 to this attack roll. On a normal hit, Shozin deals 1d8 + 10 damage with his blade, but on a successful Ascetic Strike, he deals 3d8 + 30 damage instead.
