I'm currently playing around with a monk idea with the Master of Many Style and I planned on using Tiger Style along with Boar Style. However, I have a couple of questions with how the two interact, and in addition, some base questions about Tiger Style.
1. Boar Style states that when you hit with two unarmed strikes, you do the 'bleed' damage. Now with Tiger Claws, you take a full round action to make one unarmed strike, however, you hit with both strikes and do damage. Would this activate the 'bleed' damage you would get from Boar Style?
2. Tiger Claws state that if I use Power Attack with the full round action, I can add half of my strength bonus to one of the hits. Does that mean that normally, I don't add my strength to either hit. Or, does this mean that I add my strength to both damage rolls in addition to the half strength bonus on one roll?
3. Can you do Stunning Fist with Tiger Claws?
Thank you for any and all help.
A bump with another question:
4. When combining Dragon Style and Tiger Style as a Master of Many Styles, both styles allow you to add your bonus of strength (whether it's half or 1.5 times) to an unarmed strike or all unarmed strikes. How does this add up when you use Dragon Style (add 1.5 Strength to first unarmed attack), Dragon Ferocity (add half your strength bonus to all unarmed damage rolls), and Tiger Claws (add half your strength bonus to one of the damage rolls if you use power attack)? Since they are untyped bonuses, they look like they would stack.
1. No, you need two separate unarmed attacks during the same round. Tiger Claws is just 2 "hits" with one attack, so to speak.
Boar Style: "once per round when you hit a single foe with two or more unarmed strikes".
Tiger Claws: "make a single unarmed strike with both hands".2. As it says you roll damage twice (for both hands) you'd add Power Attack to both off them unless that line, which says you only add the Power Attack damage to one of them (it's so you don't get power attack for two hits with just one hit, I guess).
3. Shouldn't be an issue, as you just declare it before an unarmed attack (in this case Tiger Claws).
4. This has been discussed before (and you could probably find some if you search for tiger claws power attack and so on), but I haven't gotten my head around it myself, so I can't answer that one. But you should go with Dragon Ferocity if you're going Tiger Claws.
Thanks that does clear things up some. I still have one question at it's about Tiger Claws. For the one hit, two attacks, do you add your Strength Bonus once for the whole thing, or is it added to each damage dice?
You treat it as two damage rolls, so you roll damage and add strength and all the usual things like normal. It's just that you only add Power Attack damage once.
Alright thanks. So, a usage of Tiger Claw with Strength 18 should look like this:
1d6+4 (Strength) + 1d6+4 (strength) +2 (Power attack).
Alright so the +2 to damage from Power Attack is replaced by 50% of your Strength Modifier and added to the first damage roll. Got it. Thanks. I wish the feat wasn't worded so oddly.
