Inquiry on the Unchained Monk; Abundant Steps and Flying Kicks


Rules Questions


I'm currently playing a lvl 3 UnMonk focusing on the Jabbing style, but I'm thinking of later down the line when I have more "Freedom of Movement".

I'll go over this with my GM soon, but I'm looking into the RAW about this.

At what point in the Dimensional feats, would I be able to combine Abundant Step and Flying Kick, or other Style Strikes?

Wow, you're fitting the dimensional feats and the jabbing style feats in one character? That won't be coming online for a long time. That's 9 feats to get all that you need. Power Attack, Dodge, Mobility, Jabbing Style, Jabbing Dancer, Jabbing Master, Dimensional Agility, Dimensional Assault, and finally Dimensional Dervish. A human UnMonk will be level 13 and has to do some retraining to accomplish that.

Well for dimensional dervish you don't actually HAVE to keep moving after you teleport. You can d.door up to an opponent, hit them, flying kick into another opponent, d.door back to the first and continue your full attack. Or any other combination of attacks.

That being said there's not much use in combining flying kick and abundant step, as you already have the movement you need to get a full attack in once you have dimensional dervish. But Flying Kick is a good backup option for when you don't want to spend the ki points for abundant step.

Any style strikes you use can be used with flurry of blows (using unarmed attacks, of course) and dimensional dervish allows you to flurry and move in the same round. So you should be good to go in any combination you want.


I don't expect to get fully online until lvl 15. I'm focusing on Jabbing Master first, which is my primary combat. The Abundant Step portion is icing on the Kung Fu cake. I was just curious about the game mechanics and if Flying Kick can be used as part of the Dimensional feats. I could perform a dynamic entry from above if it all works out mechanically.
