Mantis Wisdom (Combat)

Your knowledge of vital areas allows you to land debilitating strikes with precision.
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Mantis Style, Stunning Fist, Heal 6 ranks.
Benefit: Treat half your levels in classes other than monk as monk levels for determining effects you can apply to a target of your Stunning Fist per the Stunning Fist monk class feature. You can also use a standard action and a successful melee touch attack to remove any Stunning Fist effect you have applied to a target.
While using Mantis Style, you gain a +2 bonus on unarmed attack rolls with which you are using Stunning Fist attempts.

Could someone clarify exactly what that bold phrases means? HOW does it changes/affects the Stunning Fist feat? Does it means that if I have 4 levels in something else, I would get 4/2 = 2 more stunning attacks per day? Is that what they mean?

Thanks for clarifying!!

At 4th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, the monk gains the ability to apply a new condition to the target of his Stunning Fist.
so monk 2 rogue 8, is treated like monk 6 in terms of what conditions his stunning fist can apply


As Yebng explained, a monk at higher levels can use Stunning Fist to create other effects, such as fatiguing, sickening or staggering the target. The feat Mantis Wisdom allows half your non-monk levels to count as monk levels for determining what bonus effects are available.


Only the effects you have access too, though. It doesn't affect any other aspect of it such as uses/day.


Ah I see!
Thank you for the clarifications!!!
