The rules as written let you take the feat, not fully benefit from it.ASCETIC ROGUE You have gone beyond the bounds of your monastic training to incorporate new modes of stealthy combat. Although your fellow monks may frown on your methods, none can doubt that your diverse training has improved your ability to strike precisely and bring down your foes quickly. Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, sneak attack. Benefit: When you use an unarmed strike with a sneak attack to deliver a stunning attack, you add 2 to the DC of your stunning attempt.It's OK thus far. Could be an Ascetic Rogue, or an Ascetic Assassin, an Ascetic Blackguard, an Ascetic Spellthief, even an Ascetic Ninja, since Surprise Strike works like Sneak Attack for the purpose of requirements.If you have levels in rogue and monk, those levels stack for the purpose of determining your unarmed strike damage. For example, a human 5th-level rogue/1st-level monk would deal 1d8 points of damage with her unarmed strike. In addition, you can multiclass freely between the monk and rogue classes. You must still remain lawful in order to retain your monk abilities and take monk levels. You still face the normal XP penalties for having multiple classes more than one level apart. There, on the other hand, there are two benefits (stacking levels for unarmed damage, and the lift on the multiclass restriction) that are only for rogues.I was wondering if it would hurt anything to have an Ascetic Assassin feat instead. Well, anything else than other characters. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> Would you give a Human Monk 5/Assassin 7 with that feat 2d6 unarmed damage? And a Monk 5/Assassin 10 with that feat resume Monk progression?</blockquote>
