Boar Style


Rules Questions

While using this style, once per round when you hit a single foe with two or more unarmed strikes, you can tear flesh. When you do, you deal 2d6 bleed damage with the attack.

My question is: When using Boar Style, do the two unarmed strikes need to be part of the same action (for example, landing two strikes with Flurry of Blows) or do they merely need to occur at some point within the same round (for example, hitting once during a standard action and again with an AoO, with the bleed occurring when the second blow hits?

I’m not worried about the fuss over how the bleed damage works - I will ask my GM to make a ruling about that (unless there’s been an official FAQ released, in which case please link me to it).

I’m trying to make a Master of Many Styles Monk. I am reasonably certain that I will be selecting Snake Style (and whatever the 3rd feat in that chain is). The problem is, MoMS gets rid of flurry (and thus, the Monk’s main source of damage).
I’m trying to build my monk so that he has good defense, but enough offense that enemies still need to attack him. Depending on how it works, Boar Style might fit my needs.


There has been an FAQ, Boar Style is now just additional damage once.

The attacks have to be on your action. Otherwise, you would never know when a round actually takes place.

Interestingly, a brawler with two levels of Monk is one heck of a combo that has Master of Many Styles and a superior flurry.

The rest of the monk vs. brawler might not fit your vision though.


Master of Many Styles 2/Sacred Fist 18 is also a solid build for that route.

And yeah, Boar Style got revamped pretty heavily via FAQ, including the bleed effect.


linked b'cos feeling helpful


That MoMS2/SF18 build looks interesting.

Thanks for the answers, I appreciate it.
