Hi guys, I've been practicing with the Unchained Monk, I find it a good replace of the Core Monk.
But one of my players noticed this: what happens if an Unchained Suli Monk wants to take Elemental Burst?
Elemental Burst, as written, need the elemental choosen with Elemental Fury, but the Suli has Elemental Assault, which is very close to it (Elemental Assault che be of any type of energy instead of a only choosen one).
How should i rule this? Does the Suli qualifies for Elemental Burst even without Elemental Fury? If yes, should he choose only one type of energy to use with Elemental Fury?
Let me know what you think and thanks in advance for the help.
It's a reasonable house rule. Requiring people to take another way of doing the same thing they can already do, in order to satisfy prereqs, is lame.
Note that being able to choose the energy type on the fly is strictly a power-up, but Elemental Fury is pretty weak for level 18 as it is.

That's exactly what I think too, maybe it is better to let him choose only one element to use with "Elemental Burst" but with the freedom to choose the energy he likes for his "Elemental Assault".
Elemental Assault isn't limited to one type, unless you take the Energy Strike alternate race trait, so it wouldn't work for the Elemental Burst if the burst had to be the same element as the pre-req power.
A pre-Unchained monk I made to use as an NPC had both Elemental Assault and Elemental Fist. It was nice to have both because that way I could choose two different elements to add 1d6 damage from, if I really needed to hit hard.
