You can focus the ki energy normally available for your melee attacks into ranged force attacks.
Prerequisite: Dex 16+, Wis 19+, Improved Unarmed Strike, Precise Shot, Point Blank Shot, Stunning Fist (as a feat or class feature).
Benefit: This feat lets you use your ki to launch a barrage of force attacks as a full-round action. When you use Ki Barrage, a glowing, white fist (or foot, or head, or whatever body part you typically make unarmed attacks with) made entirely of force appears. It functions as a thrown ranged weapon with a range increment of 30 feet. The effect lasts round.
The glowing fist attacks the target or targets you designate. It uses your base attack bonus for unarmed strikes (possibly allowing it multiple attacks per round) with any modifiers that normally apply to your ranged attacks. If multiple attacks per round are permitted, you can allocate them as desired against opponents within range. For example, a 10th-level monk can make three attacks with a single use of Ki Barrage and allocate them against up to three targets. The base attack bonus is +7 for the first attack, +4 for the second, and +1 for the third.
Each successful attack deals damage as if you had hit the target with a successful unarmed strike, including all bonuses that would apply for such a blow. You must declare that you are using the feat before making any attack rolls. Whether or not any of the attacks hit, the attempt expends one daily use of the stunning fist ability.
Attacks made with this feat cannot be also be enhanced by any other unarmed attack feat or class feature (such as stunning fist or flurry of blows), or by the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, or by any feats or special abilities that affect ranged attacks (such as Rapid Shot).
