Tiger Claw+Dragon Style confusion


Rules Questions


So I thought I would try making a MoMS Monk using Tiger+Dragon style but the Tiger Claw confused me and searching on the forums showed people had different opinions on this.

So Tiger claw says you're making a single unarmed strike with both hands applying the damage + mods together. If that is so do I just need the single dragon style feat in order to get the 1.5 mod with both damage rolls? Since it is only a single attack and my first attack of the round.

Also someone was saying you apply power attack to both damage rolls? It's pretty confusing since it say's its only one attack but you roll unarmed strike damage for each hand separately and power attack applies to all damage rolls

so assuming I had 4 in str mod my damage with a 1d6 unarmed attack my damage would be:
1d6+6(str)+2(PA)+2(tiger claw PA bonus)+1d6+6(str)+2(PA)

does this seem correct?

While you are using the Tiger Style feat and have both hands free, you can use a full-round action to make a single unarmed strike with both hands. Use your highest base attack bonus, rolling unarmed strike damage for each hand separately

Further, you can add 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus on the damage roll for your first unarmed strike on a given round.

Since it is explicitly one attack, I would say yes you add 1.5 STR mod to both damage rolls.


What about the power attack thing?


Well, you roll damage for both unarmed strikes, so I would say yes, you get PA on each.

Makes sense, both styles compliment each other.

Tiger claws is sort of like a manyshot and that has most damage types applying to each arrow.

Types of damage that won't be "doubled" by Tiger Claws or Manyshot would be like sneak attacks that trigger on an attack, not the number of times damage is dealt by that single attack. (Hence TWF gives lots of sneak attack damage, cos in the case of TWF each attack is an attack.)
