The errataed jabbing feat chain had a good feel to it I thought, and seems a nice way for a monk to add some sorely needed punching power - but is it too strong? My group thinks it's way too easy to get +4d6 damage, but it seems to me that will only come to fruition at very high levels, where other classes get their goodies as well... what do you think?
It's fine. If they want that extra 4d6, they can always take up the jabbing style also.
It has two balancing points: First, it's a total of 7 feats. Yes, monks get one as a fix bonus feat and can pick up two more as optional bonus feats, but monks are one of the weakest classes in the game. And second, it only works with unarmed strikes, one of the worst weapons in the game. Unarmed strikes are expensive to enchant (which means that their enchantment bonus will be lower), and have poor crit stats.
If allowed (which it isn't in PFS), Asketic Style is still the stronger style.
Thanks for your input guys - I agree that it's not really a game changer...
