focused shot(feat from players) says as a standard attack you can add your int. mod to damage
its key that it says standard
because kirin strike(feat from ultcom) says as a swift action after the attack is confirmed add twice your int. mod
can they be combined?
if so i was thinking of taking 2 lvls monk of many styles and the rest
magus kensai.
what do you think?
Yes it seems they will stack. Both are untyped and don't use use the same action. Though you will only ever be able to shot once with this as it won't work with a full round action.
Another interesting idea is to go haxcrafter Magus and take the Prehensile Hair hex. It already uses INT for Attack and damage. Though its damage dice is pretty low. Still an interesting thought.
2nd lvl monk garners both the kirin style and kirin strike. which is hella good to begin with. and unarmed fighter can only give you one bonus feet. then there is the ac bonus of dex, int and wis. not to mention save bonus and evasion. mix the int. bonus from kirin strike with maximized damage from magus arcane.
wow no three lvls of zen archer monk one lvl unarmed fight and the rest magus kensai is sick thanks bbtroll for pointing out unarmed fighter i didn't relize
He mentioned hes a Kensai Magus. I think that's what he means since they lose armor proficiency but gain some INT to AC. So the combo of Monk and Kensai equals well a whole bunch of stuff to AC. Though Most Magi shouldn't have enough WIS for it to really matter.
not argueing but i reread unarmed fighter and it only replaces the first bonus feat you have to take that lvl of fighter at lvl nine to get kirin style and strike in one fell swoop which i intend to do. but maybe i'm reading it wrong...
holy crap why not... canny defense, perfect strike, and iaijutsu focus and then zen archery offers a different perfect strike and zen archery gives a fall back attack stat if dex gets damaged. but if you make int climb it effects ac and damage x4 (focused shot, kirin strike, and maybe iaijutsu focus not to mention i was staring at arcane archer. thats some sexy.
