Monk/Combo Finishers

At 1st level and every odd level thereafter, a monk gains a combo finisher that allows her to put the blitz techniques into good use by starting and finishing combos. Each combo finisher requires a certain amount of blitz techniques in order that must hit and be completed before the end of her next turn of the last successive hit or the monk must start over. Any blitz techniques used in part to fulfill a combo finisher may be used on any number of creatures. In addition, once the monk is able to use a combo finisher, she must activate it before the end of her next turn or its lost.
You may activate a combo finisher as a swift action, unless indicated otherwise on the ability, if the combo finisher requires an attack roll it replaces a melee or ranged attack respectively from your next attack made before the next round. All combo finishers with an attack component are made at the highest base attack bonus. At 6th level, a monk can substitute, as a free action, any blitz technique by spending 1 ki point per technique substituted. Any combo finisher that adds extra weapon damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total.
