Monk / Cleric Dragon Style + Deadly Simplicity


Rules Discussion


The Deadly Simplicity Cleric class feat increases your character's damage die with their deity's favored weapon by 1 size (or increases it to d6 if the weapon is an unarmed attack and it's lower than d6).

A monk has a d6 fist, due to powerful fist, so getting the Deadly Simplicity class feat whilst worshiping Irori, would increase the die to d8.

Does that go for Style attacks, as well, though? Or are they considered different weapons from the Fist weapon? Or are they not even considered weapons at all?

Would it make, for example, Dragon Style's attack from a d10 to a d12? Or would it remain d10?


Deadly simplicity and powerful fist don't stack. You can never apply more than 1 dice increase to any weapon.

Likewise, powerful fist only applies to normal fist attacks, not the various unarmed attacks granted by stances.


"Deadly simplicity and powerful fist don't stack. You can never apply more than 1 dice increase to any weapon."

Oh? I can't seem to find that in the rules anywhere. Was it clarified anywhere?
