Pummeling Style + Elemental Burst?


Rules Questions


Pummeling Style (Combat, Style)
You collect all your power into a single vicious and debilitating punch.

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike; base attack bonus +6, brawler's flurry class feature, or flurry of blows class feature.
Benefit: As a full-round action, you can pool all your attack potential in one devastating punch. Make a number of rolls equal to the number of attacks you can make with a full attack or a flurry of blows (your choice) with the normal attack bonus for each attack. For each roll that is a hit, you deal the normal amount of damage, adding it to any damage the attack has already dealt from previous rolls (if any). If any of the attack rolls are critical threats, make one confirmation roll for the entire attack at your highest base attack bonus. If it succeeds, the entire attack is a confirmed critical hit.

So does the entire attack confirming a critical hit mean that stuff like elemental bursts will get multiple bursts off?

For instance, if an 8th Level Brawler with Pummeling Style and a Flaming Burst Amulet of Mighty Fists lands all his attacks (4) and confirms a critical, is he doing (2d10+2xStr+1d6fire+1d10fire)x4 damage?


Pummeling style has been Errata, it no longer does what you have quoted. It now lets you do a full attack and pool the damage before DR and that's it.

Ah, I saw that on the PFSRD but couldn't find it elsewhere (I copypasta'd that description from the paizo site) so I wasn't sure. But that's much more reasonable at least.

EDIT: In fact the pfsrd has a note about the errata that it only works on unarmed strike but does not indicate there was an errata about critical hits.

Speaking hypothetically though, would it have worked the way I suggested pre-errata?

No - pre-errata it was one attack that just happened to have multiple rolls associated. The falcon punch only crit once.
