Despite the chicken thread(which is funny in a ridiculous way), i found myself wondering about this.
The text for "life from a stone" is:
At 11th level, a hungry ghost monk can steal ki OR life force from any creature, not just living creatures. If the monk has at least 1 ki point in his pool, he gains the benefit of life funnel AND steal ki when he confirms a critical hit against any creature or reduces any creature to 0 or fewer hit points. This ability replaces diamond body.
Now, one time its ki OR life force, then life funnel AND steal ki.
What is intended?
Is the benefit of life from a stone "only" that you can also use it against non-living creatures, or is the "main" benefit that you can life force AND ki points simultaneously?

Did you ever find out what the results was on this ? Can you steal health and ki at the same time, or one or the other ? I too am making a hungry ghost monk. I might throw in unarmed fighter for the extra style feat, and another level of fighter for yet another bonus feat. The only problem is, for every level that isn't a monk, it delays me getting higher damage, higher ac, and steal ki abilities. I also contemplated master of many styles mix with hungry ghost monk. I just don't like losing flurry of blows. I am still undecided on so many factors.
