Sensei + CoI Mystic Wisdom


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Hello to everyone.
I have been looking for the entire paizo forum, even giantitp to find something that could answer my questions, but nothing complete about what I found.

First of all, as the Title says, I was going to Mix the Sensei with the CoI and Monk of four winds, up to lvl 12 monk, 4 paladin, 4 CoI.

Now on, I have a few doubt about if all work.

Mystic Wisdom (Su):
At 6th level, a sensei may use his advice ability when spending points from his ki pool to activate a class ability (using the normal actions required for each) in order to have that ability affect one ally within 30 feet rather than the sensei himself.

At 10th level, a sensei may affect all allies within 30 feet rather than himself (spending points from his ki pool only once, not once for each target). At 10th level, a sensei may instead spend 1 point from his ki pool (as a swift action) while using advice to provide a single ally within 30 feet with evasion, fast movement, high jump, purity of body, or slow fall.

As I can undestand, if I spend a ki point I can give any ability that I have related on activation to an ally.
Good, so now begin the fun.

CoI Ki Pool (Su):
At 2nd level, a champion of Irori gains a ki pool equal to 1/2 his class level + his Wisdom modifier; this functions like the monk ability of the same name, and levels in this class stack with levels in other classes that grant a ki pool. In addition to the normal uses of this ki pool, a champion of Irori may expend 2 ki points to trigger either his lay on hands ability (if he has it) or his smite evil ability. His class levels stack with paladin levels when determining the effect of such abilities.

As I can understan here, I can spend a Ki Point to activate either Smite Evil/Chaos or Lay on Hands to one ally at lvl 6 or to any ally at level 10.

Question are:
1) If I grant Smite to any ally, it would be bestowed with my bonuses like the paladin aura, or how?
2) If I grant Lay on Hands to everyone in the party, this will trigger Reward of Life for each ally that use Lay on hands in that moment?


Still no one knows about if it works?


Since no one weighed in; I'll take a crack. It's uncontestable that Mystic Wisdom allows allies to benefit from abilities, and that the CoI makes smite a ki based ability. The key point is in this sentence, however:

Quote:
At 6th level, a sensei may use his advice ability when spending points from his ki pool to activate a class ability

A reference to a class ability refers to an ability granted by the class granting the ability referencing it.

If X is granted by Y class, and X references class ability(ies), X applies to abilities from Y only.
In this example, Mystic wisdom refers only to abilities granted by your Monk levels and the abilities granted by them.

I hope that is clear. Disappointing, because that'd be a neat trick, but I have to admit it doesn't appear to work.

Edit: By the way, this would've been more appropriate in the Rules Questions forum, and probably would have elicited a quicker reply there. :)


Thanks. I will put it again in rules and deleting here.
