Sohei Monk Mounted Combat bonus feats

[Rioko]

Reading this, is it really possible to take Mounted Skirmisher at level 1?

[NikolaiJuno]

Wow! I really don't know what to say about this?

[Rioko]

Checking hero lab, it does allow this. While not always accurate. It does seem to be a useful guideline.

[NikolaiJuno]

It seems to just add all mounted combat feats to the Monk feat list(which doesn't need pre-reqs). So yes it is possible by RAW. It's damn cheesy though.
I think this needs an FAQ just so they realize it may need fixing.

Not that Mounted Skirmisher does you much good at level 1, but yes, it's valid.

Most people I've seen get Spirited Charge or Trick Riding first, though.

The Sohei has been around for a while, now.

This is no new realization.

as a monk it helps at level 1. Flurry

I do have a Halfling Sohei drafted up for PFS.

Grab a dog mount via Animal Ally, and it benefits from my Ki abilities.

At 6th level I'll be able to Mounted Skirmisher/Flurry of Polearms.

It'll be fun. And different. But crunching the numbers, it's not as over-the-top as a casual consideration lends it to be.

If you say "ignore a level 14 prerequisite" it sounds like it MUST be overpowered, but I think it's actually the prerequisite that's just too ridiculously hard, compared to the power delivered.
