I have noticecd some conflict ibetween the brief description of the feat Aestic Rogue in Complete Adventurer and the actual description of the feat. The brief one says that monk levels will stack with rogue levels for determening the amount of sneak attack damage and unarmed sneak attack gains an improved stunning fist DC. The long description doesn't mention anything about increased sneak attack damage, instead it says your rogue levels stack with monk levels for determining the amount of UNARMED DAMAGE you do. Whats up? Do I increase my sneak attack? Or do I increase my unarmed damage? Personally I say that the sneak attack would be more appropriate because the precursor description of the feat says you combine your monastic training with more stealthy attacks of a rogue.

Any construcive help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Text always trumps tables... The long description is correct.

It's the rule of 3T's - text trumps tables.
Never trust the short description of anything - it's tailored to fit in the space available on the chart, so they don't always accurately convey the important points of the feat/ability/whatever... :D
