Does Pummeling Style work with Vital Strike?

[Theronai]

I'm thinking of a Monk of the Four Winds and pooling all of his attack potential into one crippling punch. Short and sweet: could I combine the archetype's enhanced Elemental Fist, Pummeling Style, and Vital
Strike into one attack?

[Jiggy]

No. Pummeling Style is a full-round action, while Vital Strike only boosts the Attack action (which is a type of standard action). They can't be combined.

[Zwordsman]

Pummeling style and vital Strike cannot work.
PS is a full round action, Vital strike is a standard action. so they will not mix

You shoud lbe able to put one Elemental fist into either vital or PS. but the EF specifies only once per round so you could only use it once.
PS+EF is valid for some fun.

Nothing works with Vital Strike.

Whoops, read too much into Vital Strike that I forgot to look at PS. Had another question regarding Pummeling Charge and Dimensional Assault. DA says it's a special charge, PC doesn't. Could I pummeling strike as the attack that DA allows at the end of the charge?

Not technically true. Vital Strike is an attack made with the attack standard action. Anything that modifies a single attack made with the attack standard action instead of having it's own action will work with vital strike.

Specifically, Greater Weapon of the Chosen works with Vital Strike.

RAW, No. Dimensional Assault is not a charge action, but a special full round action that allows a charge. Pummeling Charge only occurs on an actual charge action. But I'd allow it in a home game.

The Monk of the Four Winds' Slow Time ability works well with it as well.

I was kinda joking, but yeah.

But the wording on PC says that it is a standard charge, except that you PS at the end instead of the one attack. DA says the special charge let's you make the attack allowed at the end of a regular charge

Don't forget that Flyby Attack also works with Vital Strike!!!
An essential fact for all of the flying hippopotamuses of the world.

It's only half a joke. Vital Strike really is an incredibly unwieldy ability. It'd be nice if it applied to a broader range of actions.
