OK, thank you.

The last question I have is if I use FoB and my actions go as Attack 1 + Attack 2 -> Combat Maneuver, can I use combat expertise on just the combat maneuver at the end?

1. No.

2. It's a spell like ability, so it functions as the spell, using your monk level as caster level.
3. Yes.

For the 1st answer, could you explain why it doesn't work? I just want to make sure I understand why.

Hello, I have a few questions about some feats, abilities, and scenarios.

1. If I were to use combat expertise on a full-attack action, do the bonuses to AC from each attack stack with each other? For example, when the first attack hits I get a +2 to my AC and then the second hit lands does the +2 stack with the bonus from the first attack to make it a +4? If yes, would it work with Flurry of Blows?

2. When using the Barksin ability as a Qinggong Monk, does it last for the duration shown in the spell's information, or does it only last one turn?

3. The Ki Intensifying attribute for magic weapons says that after making a successful attack with the weapon I can spend a ki point to perform a combat maneuver as a free action. If I were to use FoB and I landed both attacks, would my actions go as Attack 1 -> Combat Maneuver + Attack 2 -> Combat Maneuver?

Hello. I am currently trying to create Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star for this Pathfinder game I am playing in. For people who don't know who he is, he is a bad ass that travels across a post apocalyptic wasteland crushing evil with his fists. I plan on actually roleplaying as the character himself, not just making a character that is like him. He has a couple signature characteristics and abilities that I feel would be important to replicate. The purpose of me playing as this character is like an inside joke and I want to see if anyone can catch me playing as this character.

To start off, the classes I am having him be is Paladin, Monk, and Ninja.
1) I chose Paladin because Kenshiro is a very lawful good character, and I feel that smite evil and detect evil are integral to his character being an adversary of evil. Also the Hokuto no Ken(the martial art he uses), does have some heal techniques, which would be Lay on Hands.
2) I chose Sohei Monk because one of Kenshiro's signature moves is him punching and kicking a lot, so Flurry of Blows is important. He will also be able to do FoB in light armor which is important because I don't want to put points in WIS.
3) I chose ninja because it will allow me to get weapon specialization early, get pressure points(another signature move of Kenshiro), and the Ki Pool for the ninja uses CHA which synergizes with the Paladin's use of CHA.

The ability scores I have for him so far are:
Human Lvl 6 - lvl2 Pal/ lvl1 Sohei Monk/ lvl3 Ninja
Alignment = LG
25 point buy

STR:18
DEX:14
CON:13
INT:10
WIS:10
CHA:16

The feats I am taking so far are: Endurance > Power Attack > Toughness > Combat Reflexes > Boar Style > Weapon Specialization

Here I'll link some youtube videos to show off basically what I trying to do.

Do you guys have any suggestions for me to improve this character or things to get later on if this character survives?

Hello, I am currently trying to make a character that is taking levels in Paladin, Monk, and Ninja. I have played PF for a while, but I am not sure about many of the rules and this is my first time trying to multi-class.

1. If I take 1 level in monk to get FoB and then level in ninja, can I use a ki point from the ninja's ki pool to add an extra attack to FoB? The rules state that...

The ninja can now use ki points from this pool to power the abilities of every class she possesses that grants a ki pool.

The issue I see with this is that I don't plan on taking 4 levels in monk, so would this be possible with just 1 level in monk?

2. Can a sohei monk use FoB while wearing light armor? I've read some random threads about it, but I haven't seen anything definitive or official about it.
