FURYBORN

Price +2 bonus; Aura moderate enchantment; CL 7th; Weight —
This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons. A furyborn weapon draws power from the anger and frustration the wielder feels when battling foes that refuse to die. Each time the wielder damages an opponent with the weapon, its enhancement bonus increases by +1 when making attacks against that opponent (to a maximum total enhancement bonus of +5). This extra enhancement bonus goes away if the opponent dies, the wielder uses the weapon to attack a different creature, or 1 hour passes.

Pummeling Style (Combat, Style)

Your unarmed strikes weave together in an effortless combo, focusing on the spots you've weakened with the last hit.

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike; base attack bonus +6, brawler's flurry class feature, or flurry of blows class feature.

Benefit: Whenever you use a full-attack action or flurry of blows to make multiple attacks against a single opponent with unarmed strikes, total the damage from all hits before applying damage reduction. This ability works only with unarmed strikes, no matter what other abilities you might possess.

1.)Does the increased enhancement bonus from Furyborn overcome different types of damage reduction?

2.)Do the “multiple attacks” of Pummeling Style each increase the enhancement bonus when using the Furyborn special ability?

3.)Does the “total damage” of Pummeling Style overcome damage reduction based on the highest enhancement bonus reached with Furyborn?

Example: A monk with a (+1) Furyborn Amulet of Mighty Fists makes five attacks with a flurry of blows. Assuming he hits with each attack, increasing his enhancement bonus to (+5), while using Pummeling Style; would the total damage overcome damage reduction as if he used a (+5) weapon with each attack?
