Can Sohei Monk and Scaled Fist Monk be combined?

[Mako Senako]

I have an idea for a Dragon Disciple

4 Sorcerer/Monk (Sohei x Scaled Fist) 1/Dragon Disciple 10/Eldritch Knight 5.

or Should I go for Sorcerer 2/Monk(above archetypes) 3/Dragon Disciple 10/Eldritch Knight 5

No, they can't be combined because they both modify Bonus Feats.

You can't be Sohei and Scaled Fist as both modify bonus feats.

[Mako Senako]

but the only thing that Sohei does to Bonus feats is that it added mounted combat feats as additional options.

When archetypes alter, adjust, add, remove, replace, enhance, expend, augment, revise, advance, innovate, modify, shift, switch, transform, correct, distort, remodel, or look at funny then they don't stack.

Doesn't matter.

Relevant FAQ says that adding extra subjects (such as more spells per day, or less spells per day) or changing options (such as adjusting what bonus feats you can pick from) counts as altering the entire feature, and therefore won't stack with other archetypes that do so.

Yep, by the rules even if they both add the same thing it doesn't stack. For instance I know of archetypes that don't stack because they both add the SAME skill to class skills...

I wish it was a bit more flexible myself but those are the rules.

ok

If this isn't for PFS or something like it, ask your DM if they'll allow it. Often, they will not mind it if different aspects of an ability are 'modified' and allow it. It can't hurt to ask. ;)

It is a reasonable house rule to allow them to be taken together, but by the FAQ they don't stack.

"Look at funny" made me ugly laugh.
