do you use for a single attack or/and a full attack? if a full is okay then you can definitely roll this way for each attack in the full attack?
Yes, this is for my zen archer. thanks.
You can use it once per round on any attack in the round. Jut declair it before the roll. It can be for a single attack or a full attack.
when i asked earlier: do you use for a single attack or/and a full attack? if a full is okay then you can definitely roll this way for each attack in the full attack?, i should have clarified does one use of perfect strike count for one full attack, i.e. at 16th lvl. BAB +14/+14/+9/+9/+4/+4/–1; i roll d20 3 times 7 attacks off 1 use of perfect strike?
Perfect Strike (Ex): At 1st level, a zen archer gains
Perfect Strike as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet
the prerequisites. A zen archer can use Perfect Strike with
any bow. At 10th level, the monk can roll his attack roll
three times and take the highest result. If one of these
rolls is a critical threat, the monk must choose one of
his other two rolls to use as his confirmation roll. This
ability replaces Stunning Fist.
Perfect Strike (Combat)
When wielding a monk weapon, your attacks can be
extremely precise.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved
Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit: You must declare that you are using
this feat before you make your attack roll (thus a
failed attack roll ruins the attempt). You must use one of
the following weapons to make the attack: kama, nunchaku,
quarterstaff, sai, and siangham. You can roll your attack roll
twice and take the higher result. If one of these rolls is a
critical threat, the other roll is used as your confirmation
roll (your choice if they are both critical threats). You may
attempt a perfect attack once per day for every four levels
you have attained (but see Special), and no more than once
per round.
Special: A weapon master monk or zen archer monk
receives Perfect Strike as a bonus feat at 1st level, even if he
does not meet the prerequisites. A monk may attempt an perfect
strike attack a number of times per day equal to his
monk level, plus one more time per day for every four levels
he has in classes other than monk.
It works on a single attack roll. You don't have to use it on your first iterative attack, you could use it on a later attack, or even on an AoO.
thanks. this helps me determine my feat progression.
Even if you have enough uses per day, you couldn't spend them all in the same round if you have enough attacks, since I see a "once a round" limit on how often you can use them.
EDIT: iff I could spell ...
right. i knew that and that it wasn't as great as my giddy child like expectations was making it out to be. but now i know i can't get away with being a full attack whore and should throw something into a standard attack improvement. something like vital strike and devastating strike.
I have a monk who has it, he generally saves it for "the bad guy is gonna get away, I've GOT to trip him" or "the casty guy is casting, I've GOT to disrupt this spell or it's curtains".
Holymeatpuppet: Crunch the numbers sometime.
First percentage = your initial chance to hit.
Second percentage = the chance to hit via Perfect Strike (2d20).
Third percentage = the increase provided by Perfect Strike.
05%: 9.75% (+4.75%)
10%: 19% (+9%)
15%: 27.75% (+12.75%)
20%: 36% (+16%)
25%: 43.75% (+18.75%)
30%: 51% (+21%)
35%: 57.75% (+22.75%)
40%: 64% (+24%)
45%: 69.75% (+24.75%)
50%: 75% (+25%)
55%: 79.75% (+24.75%)
60%: 84% (+24%)
65%: 87.75% (+22.75%)
70%: 91% (+21%)
75%: 93.75% (+18.75%)
80%: 96% (+16%)
85%: 97.75% (+12.75%)
90%: 99% (+9%)
95%: 99.75% (+4.75%)
As you can see: use Perfect Strike on an attack that is about 50% accurate for the best effect. Alternately: Use Perfect Strike on an attack that must absolutely hit (stunning fist for example).
