Selectable feat

You can use the unarmed strike damage of a monk 4 levels lower than your character level (minimum 1st) instead of the base damage for the chosen weapon. Ascetic Strike functions in all other ways as the brawler’s close weapon mastery class feature. In addition, you ignore the still mind class feature prerequisite for the Monastic Legacy feat.

Prerequisites

Ascetic Form, Ascetic Style, Weapon Focus, base attack bonus +7 or monk level 7th
