Would I be allowed to take this feat for my monk at rank 2 if he is male and Andoran? I'm double checking but seeing the special, it appears to be available to all monks at this rate.
You have mastered a deadly fighting form inspired by the varying attacks of the barbed devil. You seek not just to defeat or kill your opponent but to first cripple him with memorable, scarring pain.
Prerequisites: Intimidate 2 ranks, Improved Unarmed Strike, female, raised by the Sisters of the Golden Erinyes.
Benefit: Each round, your unarmed attacks may be treated as bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. You decide which type of damage you deal, but you may only choose one type at a time. In addition, for each consecutive round that you change the type of damage selected from the previous round, the threat range of your unarmed attack increases by 1, to a maximum of 16–20/x2 after 5 rounds. If you succeed in confirming a critical hit, the threat range of your attacks resets to normal and you may further make Intimidate check as an immediate action to attempt to demoralize your opponent.
Special: Hamatulatsu may be selected as a substitute bonus feat at 2nd level by a monk even if the monk does not otherwise meet the prerequisites. Hamatulatsu does not stack with Improved Critical.
James Jacobs mentions Hamatulatsu getting changed. Don't know if this effects PFS, and if it does, when the new Inner Sea comes out, which will trump?
The new PRPG rules version will trump, of course, because the old version is 3.5 rules.
And link fixed too. :)
Chapter 13 of the Guide determines what's legal for play from all non-Core products.
I assume its not available for organized play?
