[QUOTE="daTim, post: 14726, member: 1797"] Sorry for the confusion in my previous post, what I meant is that you would have the same number of Unbalancing strikes as Stunning fists (3+lvl i think...) The problem with the Unbalancing strike not allowing a sneak attack, in my opinion, is that it just complicates the rules more without a reasonable explination. For example, you succed at the Unbalancing strike and can hit him again, but not sneak attack, but can someone else threatening his area (but not flanking him) get *their* sneak attack on him? I think a good ruling can be thought of that does not require complication and bending of the rules. Mabey have it so that you can only do the Unbalancing strike once per wisdom bonus (example: 18(+4)wisdom = 4 unbalancing strikes per combat) in combat, as your opponent will quickly get wise to that technique and guard against it, much like combat bluffing can only be done once per encounter. The benefit of the unbalancing strike over a simple combat bluff, is it requires an easier check, and doesnt take lots of skill points to make decent, just one feat. Just an example... I do look foward to James' response to your e-mail, as this is a question I have been wondering about myself, as it applies to Freezing the lifeblood, and Falling star strike. [/QUOTE]
