Help with rules for Unchained Monk


Rules Questions


My GM is letting me rebuild my monk to meet Unchained requirements. If I follow the old build, since I'm swapping flurry for fuse styles, do I lose the style strike ability?

Grand Lodge

The new Unchained Monk cannot be used with any archetype by default.

In other words, if you want to use any archetype you'll need to ask your GM to homebrew it.


Well I'm glad I'm not using it in PFS then.


If you were to lose flurry of blows, you'd lose the style strike ability because it specifically states, "Whenever [the monk] makes a flurry of blows, he can designate one of his unarmed strikes as a style strike."

So no Unchained Zen Archer eh? Well that kinda makes it meh in my book. Oh well.
