Perfect Strike + Stunning Fist?

[Nezthalak]

Can I declare both for the same attack?

[The Elusive Jackalope]

Yes.

Only if you have the ability to Perfect Strike and Stunning Fist with the same weapon. Ordinarily you are unable to Perfect Strike with unarmed strike, and you are unable to Stunning Fist with anything other than unarmed strike.

That's what I thought. I bought a Ki-Focused weapon to help with that whole pesky AoMF deal.

Fact:

Ki Focus: The magic weapon serves as a channel for the wielder's ki, allowing her to use her special ki attacks through the weapon as if they were unarmed attacks. These attacks include the monk's ki strike, quivering palm, and the Stunning Fist feat (including any condition that the monk can apply using this feat). Only melee weapons can have the ki focus ability.

Edit: Ninja'd by the OP.

Thanks :)

@Ringtail: Yes, that's why I said 'ordinarily'. Some people do miss that you cannot Perfect Strike with an unarmed strike.

Mergy: I was elaborating on what you said, in case the OP was unaware that the ki focus enhancement worked with the Stunning Fist feat. The "fact" statement was in agreement with what your comment- no wrong intended.

I wasn't offended, if that's what you're worried about. We're both trying to clarify the rules for others. :)

Sorry I don't follow. Is there any way to get around the whole "can't use unarmed strikes with Perfect strike" problem?
