Kata master multiclass with swashbuckler


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

I am considering building a Kata Master monk who also has levels of swashbuckler.

Would such a character be able to use an unarmed strike with the precise strike deed from the swashbuckler?

"A kata master can use an unarmed strike or monk
special weapon in place of a light or one-handed piercing
melee weapon for granted swashbuckler class features and
deeds."

A monk unarmed strike counts as a manufactured weapon so that isn't an issue.

The problem is that granted word. That could be taken to mean it only applies to deeds granted by the Kata Master. Alternatively, it could just be meant to make sure that it is clear that the Kata Master does not gain access to all swashbuckler features and deeds (a touch redundant but it clarifies things).


It means it doesn't work for multiclassing.

Scarab Sages

Take Snake Style, Boar Style, or Hamatulatsu. Your unarmed strikes are now light piercing weapons and can be used with the Precise Strike deed.


Especially since Kata Master stacks with MoMS.
