Brawler / Monk Unarmed Strike Damage

[Kilgore Trout73]

Hi -

Gamed with a guy at PFS yesterday who was playing a Brawler/Monk. Didn't have time to ask him how he did this after the game, and when another player asked during the game, he said it would take awhile to explain, mentioning Dragon Style, Brawler Armor, and a high strength score.

He was getting +16 to damage with each unarmed strike. Level was 4 or 5 (I could tell this by the 1d8 for base damage and the scenario we were in).

Any idea how he might have done that?

I'm guessing he was Monk of Many Styles for 2 levels, Brawler for 2 or 3 levels.

Using Dragon Style, Power Attack, 18 strength, and Brawling Armor, I'm seeing the following:

Strength: +4
Power Attack: +4
Brawling Armor: +2
Dragon Style: +6

Well, shoot, I guess that is +16.

But on a Flurry of Blows, wouldn't the Dragon Style only apply to the first punch? So it would be +16 / +10 for damage?

Any thoughts around how he did this would be much appreciated.

It seemed a little....excessive for the tier, but I guess if the rules allow for it, more power to him!

Also, he mentioned Pummeling Style. I think there's something in MoMS that allows you to combine two styles, yes? So he could be using Pummeling and Dragon at the same time? Sounds wicked....

I dont see how dragon style give 2,5 times str to damage. If he have two of the feats str 18 Will give +8 on the first and +6 on the other(s),
If he have 4 brawler levels he May be specialized to give +2 more.
Moms allow pummeling and dragon but you need two swift actions to activate both.

My advice, if you are a player or a GM and you don't understand how something is working. Ask questions until you do. Especially if you are the GM.
