Ghost Sundering Palm (Feat)

Your fists burn with blue-white fire, and you can now drive ghosts away with your fierce attacks.

Prerequisites: Monk 26, Scorpion Style (Feat), Gorgon's Fist (Feat), Perfect Strike (Feat)

Benefit: As an immediate action, your fists and feet burn with a blue-white fire, as you expend 5 ki points to imbue all of your melee attacks with the ineffable power of your pure ki. All melee attacks gain the Ghost Touch magic property until the end of the current encounter, or until the Ghost Sundering Palm effect ends (see below). This allows you to inflict full damage to incorporeal targets such as ghosts and spirits.

Once Ghost Sundering Palm is active, using a full attack action, you can expend it with a powerful cry. You thrust your fire-clad palms toward your foes, causing a huge ghostly hand to deliver a massive blow to all foes you choose in a 5x5x5 cone adjacent to your space. You must roll to-hit (at your highest attack value) against each enemy creature within the affected area. If you hit one or more of the enemies in the area, you roll your normal attack damage once, and multiply it by the number of enemies you successfully hit. Each successfully hit enemy takes this multiplied amount of damage. Creating this area of effect attack extinguishes the eerie ki flames until you activate this power again as above (and ends the Ghost Touch effect).

You may use this power of Ghost Sundering Palm a number of times per day equal to the number of experience tiers of the Monk character class that you possess.
