Mythic Monk (Unchained) Options

Mythic unchained monks grow to be grand masters who establish their own schools of philosophy and combat.

Mythic AC Bonus

The monk adds his mythic tier to his monk level for purposes of determining his AC bonus.

Mythic Bonus Feat

Once per day, as a full-round action, the monk may change one bonus feat he has selected from his list of available combat feats. In essence, he loses one bonus feat, and gains a new bonus feat from his list of available combat feats to replace it, as if he had retrained the feat. He may not swap out any feat he is using as a prerequisite. This mythic class feature may be selected more than once, but not more times than the total number of bonus combat feats the monk has. Each time it is selected, it allows him to swap out a bonus feat one additional time per day. He may swap out the same feat multiple times, or swap out different bonus feats.

Mythic Flurry of Blows

The monk may add the extra attacks gained from flurry of blows to the single melee attack he gains as an attack action. At mythic tiers 1-5 this is limited to a single extra attack from flurry of blows. At mythic tier 6-9, a monk of 11th or higher level may add two extra attacks from flurry of blows to a single melee attack taken as an attack action. At mythic tier 10, a monk of 20th level can make a third additional attack at his highest base attack bonus whenever he makes a flurry of blows, and may add all three extra attacks from flurry of blows to a single melee attack taken as an attack action. This stacks with the first and second attack from this ability and additional attacks from haste and similar effects.

Mythic Stunning Fist

The monk adds his mythic tier to his monk level when determining how many times per day he may use his stunning fist, and what conditions he may apply to targets of such attacks.

Mythic Unarmed Strike

The monk may deal his unarmed damage dice in place of his weapon damage dice whenever he deals damage with a monk weapon. This does not change any other aspect of the attack (such as threat range).

Mythic Evasion

The monk is a master of evading attacks. When the monk takes damage, he may expend a use of mythic power to halve the amount of damage he takes. This applies to ability damage and ability drain as well, but not to any ongoing damage from an effect the ranger failed to save against. Thus the ranger could use mythic evasion to halve the damage you take from a poison if he failed his save, but not any damage the poison deals after its initial effect.

Mythic Fast Movement

The monk adds the additional 10 feet from fast movement to all his forms of movement, even temporary movement (such as gaining flight through a fly spell). In the case of movement based on the monk’s normal speed (such as making a Climb check to move 1/4 the monk’s speed), the additional movement is added both to the monk’s normal speed, and again after all other calculations. Thus, an unarmored human monk with a 40 speed (30 feet, +10 feet for fast movement) can make a Climb check to climb 20 feet; 10 feet (1/4 of her 40 foot speed) +10 feet for mythic fast movement.

Mythic Ki Pool

Mythic Ki Powers (selection)

Once per day, as a full-round action, the monk may change one ki power (but not a mythic ki power) he has selected. In essence, he loses one ki power, and gains a new ki power to replace it, as if he had retrained the class feature. he may not swap out any ki power he is using as a prerequisite.

The onset time is calculated starting from the moment the ability ends its effect; if the monk regains ki and the ability resumes, the onset time is interrupted again at the point where it is.
