Gentle Way Style (Combat, style)
Practitioners of the gentle way do not rely on the brute force of kinetic energy in combat, but on the secrets of ki, injecting it into their enemies to disrupt their bodies.
Prerequisites: Weapon Finesse, Stunning Fist, ki pool; Wis or Cha 13
Benefit: While using this style, if you hit an enemy with a stunning fist attempt, your attack deals additional precision damage equal to the key ability modifier used for your ki pool (Usually wisdom for monks and charisma for ninjas.), so long as you are using dexterity modifer on attack rolls and not on damage rolls.
Special: You may use your ki pool's ability score modifier to calculate the DC for your stunning fist ability
Gentle Way Adept (Combat)
Prerequisites: Weapon Finesse, Stunning Fist, ki pool, Gentle Way Style; Wis or Cha 15
Benefit: While using Gentle Way Style in any round in which you make a stunning fist attempt, your damage bonus from gentle fist style applies to all subsequent unarmed strikes you make until the beginning of your next turn. In addition, you gain a bonus to the DC of your stunning fist ability equal to half the bonus damage granted by gentle fist style.
Gentle Way Divinity (Combat)
The Master Of Masters demonstrated that all mortals contain a spark of the divine. Ki is the warmth cast from that spark. It can heal, or harm. Use it.”
Prerequisites: Weapon Finesse, Stunning Fist, ki pool, Gentle Way Style, Gentle Way Adept; Wis or Cha 17.
Benefit: When using the gentle fist style you do not need to make a stunning fist attempt to gain the damage bonus granted by Gentle Fist Style, you merely need to attack with a weapon capable of delivering a Stunning Fist Attempt. In addition, when you use stunning fist, you may choose to spend 3 ki points to flood enemies with your ki into the enemy, disrupting the flow of their own ki. This functions as the Paladin's Lay on Hands or Antipaladin's Touch of Corruption ability, whichever you determine is appropriate against your enemy, using your levels in a class which grants a ki pool as your paladin or antipaladin level, and your ki ability modifier in place of your charisma score. Additionally, when you use this ability, undead creatures are not immune to stunning fist, even though it is not harmless and does not function on objects. You may also expend a stunning fist use as a standard action to heal a living or undead creature as per lay on hands or touch of corruption. This ability may fail against creatures which have abnormal responses to positive or negative energy or who have successfully disguised their nature, such as a dhampir, or a vampire disguised as a living creature.
Special: A Disciple of the Noble Path may not use this feat in conjunction with their Ki Channel or Improvecd Ki Channel class abilities.
