Unarmed Fighter + Master of Many Styles


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Well, I am thinking of using these two options to finally make a fun Kung-Foo style charater in pathfinder Society.

I am thinking of taking Unarmed figher and picking up Panther style, (ignoring prereqs, Wis)
then Monk MMS to get the 3rd Panther feat, Panther Parry, (ignoring prereqs, Wis)
then Fighter to get Snake style (which I will qualify for normaly!)
then Monk MMS for 3rd Snake feat, Snake Fang (ignoring prereqs, skills)

1st level feat for dodge, human feat for weapon finesse. 3rd level for mobility.

I plan to take Unarmed fighter for the rest of the game, pick up normal fighter feats, maybe the Crane stlye, who knows, fighters get so many feats!

I am imagining at lvl 4 (best case scenario):
I charge the (large monster) and it makes an AOO!
I use Panter parry as a swift action to get a free hit in that causes the AOO to get a -2 penalty! (if I hit)
-2 to the attack, plus my mobility +4 to AC, the AOO misses!
I then use Snake Fang, because he missed me, to make my own AOO!
My AOO hits! I spend an imediate action to make another attack!
I then, Finally, make my charge attack!

In this situation I would get 4 attacks in one round, all at the +2 from charging. Plus, it would look f*cking cool!

Long story short, I am trying to decide is if I should bother with wisdom or just wear a mithral chain shirt and save the point buy.

Is this cool or crazy, let me know before Pacificon next month!


Also, is there any reason I could not use stunning fist for any of these attacks?

How many of them could be stunning fists? I know a flurry can only have one of them be stunning. How would that work here?

From the PRD, Feats section, Stunning Fist feat:

"You may attempt a stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained (but see Special), and no more than once per round. "

So only one attack can be a stunning fist.

Nonetheless a cool build!


Immediate Actions; Core Rulebook pg 189 wrote:
Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action and counts as your swift action for that turn.

Looks like you'd get to use Panther Parry or Snake Fang, but not both. Even so, it's still a good build.


Damn. I was thinking about how an immediate action uses your swift for the next turn, but I guess that is only if you do it on another players turn.

I would still get to make the AOO from the Monster missing, I just would be unable to make the second free attack from snake fang. 3 attacks isn't too bad :)

Okay, I think I am going to drop wisdom to 10, bump strength and wear a chain shirt (maybe mithril breastplate later).
I will trade weapon finess at first level for mobility, then get combat reflexes as my 3rd level feat.

Hell, I could even carry around a Double Chain Kama, a Double Monk Reach Trip Disarm weapon (which is ridiculous) just to make extra use of the combat reflexes.
