pummeling style vs ascetic style

[James Gibbons]

There are many ways to allow two styles at once

Pummeling style specifies unarmed attacks only
Ascetic style lets you treat a weapon's attacks as unarmed strikes

both of these are specific cases, so the specific over general rule doesn't apply.

If one has ascetic style and pummeling style active their weapon attacks are treated as unarmed strikes and their unarmed strike damage from a full attack is totaled before applying DR.
Can one employing both of these feats add up their weapon damage before applying DR?

I'm sure this has been answered officially before but I can't find it.

oops wrong forum i'm sorry

[Renata Maclean]

"This ability works only with unarmed strikes, no matter what other abilities you might possess."

Pretty clear-cut, I'd say, sorry

(Unless this post actually belongs in the ACG forum, in which case I'm not sure what DR stands for)

Renata, DR stands for Damage Reduction.

...also agree with Renata. Pummeling style had that extra language put in to stop it from working with things like Ascetic Style.
