monk multiarchetype shenanigans

[Risas]

So, if i have a monk with the Qinggong, Sensei and four winds subclass, i can have pretty good support character that can bust the action economy

at level 12 i get from sensei the ability to share my monk ki-based abilities, like the four winds ability to sacrifice a swift action and 6 ki points for 2 extra standard actions that round, that you can, thanks to sensei, decide to give that ability to all other party members (maybe this can make the vital strike feats worthwhile) and what self respecting barbarian and fighter don't love 3 standard action attacks insteado of a full attack?

that is the big attraction of this build, but there are a couple other things fron Qinggong that can help, like sharing some feats or spells. one of the fourth level powers is the ability to cast scorching ray, and i was wondering, if i used that on my companions, what would happen?

1) nothing, wasted 2 points
2)everyone shoots rays immediately (does this count for spellcasters to have cast a spell? tecnically it originated by me)
3) on their turn, everyone can use an action to shoot rays (same question as option number 2)
4) something else
5) the matrix breaks ad our character get freed from our controll, it's the start of a new apocalipse on earth

Technically speaking sensei makes the ability affect allies rather than himself. The person affected by the spell is the target not the caster.

So if you had cast scorching ray on yourself for some reason you could instead deal damage to all your allies. Not very useful.

You could buff all of them, say with barkskin, though.

Side note: you can stack drunken master onto the above archetypes and it works very well.

yeah, i was thinking of getting drunken master and a bunch of the restriction that give you more ki, it would be a very ki heavy build, and i love the idea of a master of the arts that follows the party just so they pay him in boze
