Rules Questions


Can the Sensei Monk activate its advice ability as a move action at 7th level and a swift action at 13th level? Can an Evangelist Cleric do that?

Also, is the Sensei archetype effectively compatible with the Unchained Monk? Not that it's actually compatible because of the "no Monk archetypes are compatible" thing.

Yes. These "speed increases" are elements of the Bardic Performance ability and not separate abilities of the Bard class. Anyone who has an ability that "functions like bardic performance" will get the activation time decreases.

How can something be "effectively compatible" without being actually compatible?

Well, effectively compatible in that it doesn't replace anything the Unchained Monk doesn't have, like Slow Fall. I'm pretty sure the Hamatulatsu Master archetype is effectively compatible because it only replaces things the Unchained Monk has, even though the "no Monk archetypes are compatible" thing makes it not actually compatible.


The unchained monk doesn't have slow fall. It has monk powers and one of those options is slow fall. This means that the monk doesn't have slow fall to trade with archetypes.

Uh...

Isn't that what I said?
