burning ki and full attacks

[w01fe01]

if i burn ki to move 20 feet (no other movement) can i full attack after?

That ki ability lets you increase your speed by 20 as a swift action, but it does not let you move as a swift action. So moving is still a move action which means that no, you would not be able to full attack after moving even if you buffed your speed with ki.

Since it is a Swift action, sure.
However if you MOVE, you cannot take a full action and can only take a Standard action afterwards.
If you do not take a Move action, you can take a full action.
If you're thinking that the +20 movement applies to your 5ft Step, it does not.

What exactly are you planning? Just gaining the speed for step up, or tiger style suite?

[w01fe01]

the idea is if i needed to move within 20 feet of something and dont have the range, i could spend the ki point and full attack instead of having to standard attack.

[Kazumetsa Raijin]

Alrighty.

That would be a negative on that.

Burning the Ki Point to add +20 to your move literally just adds +20 to a move action that involves moving.

If you use a move action though, you can't take a full action. Simple as that :T

Using that Ki Point for +20ft Move won't be helpful if you're trying to flurry.

Spending a Ki Point doesn't allow you to full attack. You burn a swift action by using that Ki Point, and it simply grants you either +4 to AC for one round, +20 movement speed for one round, or one extra attack with a Flurry at your highest BAB.

ya im a MoMS so no flurry but kinda moot. damn, woulda been nice.

guess ill stick with relying on my crane/snake styles along with acrobatics score for protection.

i mean...crane/snake styles work vs AoO dont they?

not the end of the world i guess.

[Kazumetsa Raijin]

Haha. It's certainly not the end of the world!

Yes, Crane and Snake both work against AoO.

we have about a month off on our campaign and since we got all the books now (only had core when started) we are allowed to retrain basically. so retraining to ape shaman/MoMS from basic druid/monk.

Im taking the time to really study the pathfinder game and learn how to do things, hence me bombarding this site with questions.

oh, and this is gestalt.

[Kazumetsa Raijin]

Oh Hey! Well I'm happy to answer whatever I can. I'm not super experienced with the game, but I've been reading a lot about general rules, Monks, and Druids. They are my specialty at this point. I still have a lot to learn. Feel free to PM me anytime on anything in regards to those things!

[w01fe01]

hey no problem, great game, honestly, pathfinder and dnd in general have somewhat ruined me for regular videogames >.<

[Kazumetsa Raijin]

Same here man!

If you really wanna do this, go with tiger style for your next one addition. It lets you move half your movement speed as a swift action towards someone you hit with an unarmed attack in the last round.

It also lets you apply power attack penalties to AC instead of attack if you choose.
