Monk Bonus Feats


Rules Questions


The SRD lists a number of feats that can be chosen by the monk.

Have all the style feats been added to the list or is it just the original list.

It's just the original list, unless you take an archetype like the Master Of Many Style that specifically alters the list to include them.


Yeah that is what I thought. Thanks.


You do have to watch out, though. Sometimes paizo might add a feat to a class's bonus list but not edit the class list to include it or mention it at all in the new book's class entry. For example, APG added Point Blank Master to the Ranger's bonus feat list at 6th (but oddly it requires having Weapon Focus when ranger usually can ignore all requirements...and WF isn't the only requirement of PBM normally) for archery style. Archery style nor the Ranger class entry in APG reflect this. Also still curious is if the Crossbow style also gets it added or not.

I don't know of any feats that got covertly added to the monk list offhand, but it is possible one does exist or will in the future...

He's talking about the SRD, which is a 3rd party site.

The thing you have to be careful with there is that, since they're trying to make a profit, they plug in 3rd party material when you least expect it (or change the names of Paizo material because of copyright).

Sovereign Court

There is at least 1 feat that has "covertly" been added:

Hamatulatsu. 2 versions of this feat have been printed.

The original in Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting (pg 83)says "Special: Hamatulatsu may be selected as a substitute bonus feat at 2nd level by a monk even if the monk does not otherwise meet the prerequisites.

A second version was printed in the Inner Sea World Guide (pg 287). It says "Special: Hamatulatsu may be selected as a substitute bonus feat at 6th level by a monk even if the monk does not otherwise meet the prerequisites...."

So there may be more in other books. If anyone else runs across any, please post.
