Hello all! I wanted to get some general feedback and discussion on an idea I have. As the title says, I wanted to find a way to potentially play a Monk with sneak attack. Unfortunately, there are no archetypes for the class that gain the ability, and using VMC Rogue only ends up giving 4d6 very slowly. Then I remembered that Brawler was a thing, and that it also had an archetype that granted sneak attack. Now, I wouldn't get all the neat bits of Monk like movement speed, disease immunity, or ki points, but I get the ability to use Unarmed Attacks with sneak attack and something like Flurry of Blows.

What I have come up with is really just a Human Unarmed fighter with sneak attack, but I can leave the flavorful stuff to his backstory. I've used the Brawler Snakebite Striker archetype combined with the VMC Rogue to effectively get a full BAB, 9d6 Sneak Attack at 20th, and a set of feats that lets him more consistently get successful sneak attacks without relying on a partner to flank. He is going to have to have a higher DEX, but I don't think it would be too bad. Overall, the build doesn't really come "Online" until about 10th/11th level where giving up the first attack in the flurry is worth the potential sneak attack damage.

If I'm in a game where I know I'll have a consistent flank buddy I could easily trade out all of the feint feats for many other options, but I haven't gone down that route just yet.

Hello, I have been trying to purchase pathfinder unchained pdf for the last two weeks or so, but every time I try to do so it says that my payment method was declined. I have used my debit card with many other websites with no issues lately and that is what I am trying to use here.

If someone could help me out with this, that would be great.

Thanks.

We encountered a ruling question in one of our gaming sessions about how the Bodyguard feat reacts to a Full Attack Action. The question is, "Does an enemy with multiple attacks on their full attack action allow a character with the Bodyguard feat to use multiple attacks of opportunity to add to their ally's AC?

For example, an enemy has 3 iterative attacks on their full attack action. Assuming the character with Bodyguard is adjacent to the target of the attacks, and has at least 3 available attacks of opportunity from Combat Reflexes, would that allow the character to use 3 attacks of opportunity to Aid Another to increase their ally's AC? (One Attack of Opportunity per attack of the enemy.)
