The Black Monk

I've searched the forums without any luck so I thought I would ask directly. I have a player in my campaign who recently took the Monk of the Mantis archetype from the Dirty Tactics Toolbox book. The player and I are both a bit confused about the wording of the archetype feature called Pressuring Strikes. The intention of the ability seemed a bit murky to us regarding how it worked and I was wondering if anyone could please enlighten me how it should function.

I understand this gives the monk the Sneak Attack rogue class feature, the question is can the monk add this precision damage every time he uses Flurry of Blows regardless of other circumstances? Or does he still need to meet the requirements for a Sneak Attack as listed in the Rogue class feature in order to add the extra sneak attack damage during his Flurry of Blows?

I would appreciate any help and clarification on how this power is supposed to properly work. Thanks so much.


Hello all, I've got a party making their way through Book One still and things are going great. I had some thoughts however that I'd like some input on. Two of the PCs worship ancient Osirion gods, one being Osiris and the other Anubis. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about what types of deeds they would perform for these gods should they use the Deific Obedience feat from Inner Sea Gods?

I'm also wondering if anyone has any cool ideas for what a herald of one of these ancient deities would be like? I would like to include an encounter with one of these beings down the road.

Any input is very appreciated!


Hello all, I've been preparing to run Mummy's Mask and it looks like I'm going to have 6 PCs in the party. Accordingly this alters the APL by +1. Looking ahead, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for altering the CR of the various libraries that will be encountered in Book 3 Shifting Sands? My initial thought was to maybe adjust up the KP involved in each one but I'm open to suggestions. Please and thank you!
