Pummeling Charge and Janni Rush, would it work this way?


Advice


I was thinking of building a Brawler/MoMS monk, that used these two in combination but I'm not sure if I'm reading it right.

Jumping while charging means Janni Rush lets me roll unarmed damage twice on a hit after a charge, Pummeling Charge lets me combine multiple hits at the end of a charge into one hit.

Does this mean that a character who combines the two, gets double the number of unarmed strike damage for all the hits in the Pummel?

Minimum level would be 5th; 3 of Brawler to get Pummeling Style and Janni Style then 2 levels of MoMS to get Janni Rush and Pummeling Charge.
He'd only have 2 unarmed attacks at the end of a charge for 2d6 + (2*Str) +2d6(Janni Rush).

But once he starts hitting (pardon the pun) the higher levels, it gets a bit ouchier.

At 10th level (Brawler 8/Monk 2), he'll have 4 attacks after a charge at 1d10 each for 4d10 +(4*Str) + 4d10 (Janni Rush).

Does this seem right? It's not too much? Too little?


Doubling never works like that in Pathfinder. Pummeling Charge (based on Pummeling Style) allows you to roll and "add" additional damage dice to your base damage, based on how many attack rolls you succeed.

So Pummeling Style on its own would give you 4d10 on a normal full-round attack, Janni Rush on its own would give you 2d10, and Pummeling Charge would give you 5d10 (4d10 from Pummeling Charge + 1d10 from Janni Rush) because, without Pummling Charge, Janni Rush would normally net you an additional 1d10 over base so it gives the same benefit, 1d10, when combined with Pummeling Charge.


The question may as well be does pummeling style get the +2 to hit from charging on each attack roll. If the answer is yes (since it's "One big punch") then this applies for the same reason. If not (I don't think it does) then it's as kazaan says.
