Gestalt Monk/Fighter with Stunning Fist question

[iamtheend]

Alright with a Gestalt Character how would you determine these things regarding Stunning fists and the two classes? Do I count my fighter and monk which would mean half is not actually half? Also 4 levels of another class other than monk earn you another Stunning fists so can I count another stunning fist for every 4 levels of Fighter? Insight on this would be great. I asked friends who are more experienced and they say to ask the DM for a ruling.

Stunning Fists- Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you
make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt).
Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make
a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your
Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender
who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before
your next action). A stunned character can’t act, loses any Dexterity
bonus to AC, and takes a –2 penalty to AC. You may attempt a
stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained
(but see Special), and no more than once per round. Constructs,
oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune
to critical hits cannot be stunned.
Special: A monk may select Stunning Fist as a bonus feat at 1st
level, even if she does not meet the prerequisites. A monk who
selects this feat may attempt a stunning attack a number of times per
day equal to her monk level, plus one more time per day for every
four levels she has in classes other than monk.
A fighter may select Stunning Fist as one of his fighter bonus
feats

Gestalt was not out when that was written. Just you your monk levels.

Agreed with Dandu. Although you dual class as a Gestalt, you're still leveling your way along as normal. Monk4//Fighter4 is still a level 4 character. just one on steriods.

You gestalt'd fighter / monk ?


I also agree on the ruling.

I see your logic in the wording of "level" but what do you think about this

"A monk who
selects this feat may attempt a stunning attack a number of times per
day equal to her monk level, plus one more time per day for every
four levels she has in classes other than monk."

To that I point back to Dandu's answer:

If Dandu's answer doesn't convince you, think of it this way: The gestalt rules say that if both classes being advanced have the same ability progression at different rates, use only the better progression. So think of the monk as having the class ability "If you take Stunning Fist, add 1 use per level into your Stunning Fist daily uses pool" and all other classes as having the class ability "If you take Stunning Fist, add 1 use per 4 levels into your Stunning Fist daily uses pool." You only take the faster progression, just like you would for a rogue//something/assassin's sneak attack, or a druid//ranger's animal companion, or whatever.
