Notes

• For many players, Stunning Fist is often the first, if not the preferred, initial attack that a Monk will make.
• It can be used over twice as often as Stunning Blow, which has a 15 second cooldown. With enough ki, a monk could keep an enemy in a state of permanent stun.
• The DC is 10 + half Character level + Wisdom modifier + Stunning DC boosts.
  • Stunning Fist's effectiveness is augmented by a Monk's WIS modifier as well as any items with Stunning enhancements.
  • Any item, Epic Destiny ability, or Epic Destiny Feats which boosts Tactics DC will also increase the effectiveness of Stunning Fist.
• Stunning Fist does work on living constructs (such as Warforged). It does not work on constructs, elementals or undead.
• Stunning Fist does not work in Druid Wild Shape even while wearing handwraps or unarmed.
• Monks may select this feat as one of their martial arts feats.
