I'm playing a grammaton archetype cryptic, and I was running some numbers the other night, and I may have stumbled upon something silly. My buddy told me about a psionic power called Disrupting Strikes, which on a full attack action, replaces any or all attacks for Disrupt Patterns. Taking two-weapon fighting and improved two-weapon fighting, you'll have 4 attacks at 10th level, when Grammaton gets Gun Kata and disrupt is dealing 5d6 a pop. Now, when you use gun kata, you do a melee attack that is enhanced with base disrupt damage, and if that melee attack connects, you can make a free ranged attack with your gun on the same target. So with gun kata and improved two weapon fighting, that's 8 attacks and if you use disrupting strikes to sub in disrupting patterns, can you get all 8 disrupts? As I was typing this on my phone, the rule in gun kata came to mind stating ”For each successful melee attack made with a handgun, if that gun is loaded, the grammatons can make a free ranged attack with that handgun against the creature struck.”So,my question is if you are initiating the Gun Kata, can you replace the melee attack for a disrupt and still get the following shot? I feel its very doubtful since you aren't doing the melee attack, unless the disrupt counts as the melee attack under some rule I don't know, but I would really like to see what you guys have to say about this.
