Sacred Fist Archtype + Monk ki pool


Rules Questions


so I am planing to make a Sacred Fist warpriest with a 1-2 level dip into Master of Many styles, and I had a question regarding the Sacred Fist's Ki pool. The ability functions as you treating your warpriest level-3 as monk levels for the pool, and works as the same class feature as a monk. Does this mean that the monk levels taken in the dip add toward the ki pool, despite it being only a 1-2 level dip?

As Written, the feature says:

At 7th level, the sacred fist gains a ki pool. This functions as the monk class feature, using the sacred fist's level – 3 as his monk level when determining the number of points in his pool and bonuses granted to his unarmed strike. Additionally, the sacred fist can as a swift action spend 1 point from his ki pool to grant himself a +1 insight bonus to his AC for 1 minute. (This is in addition the normal ki ability to gain a dodge bonus to AC.) This insight bonus increases by 1 for every 3 levels above 7th (to a maximum of +5 at 19th level).


No. If you hit Monk 4 and gained a ki pool there, the two pools would add together (though you'd only get to add your wisdom mod once). Until you get there, you do not have that class feature, so there is nothing to add.


Unless the things say they stack or explain a way they stack they don't stack.

The unarmed strike damage doesn't stack or add together. The Vigilante has a section that says it gains US damage like a monk -3 and that if you take levels of monk you can add the two together. Since that's not written elsewhere it means you can't add the levels together.
