Perfect Style Explanation

[xt160527]

I have recently adquired the Adventurer's Guide and found the Perfect Style feat confusing.

There it say you get Energy Resistance 5 (based on each style) and a ki pool to activate powers of the style you choose if you dont have a ki pool to begin. The feat can be taken by any class that meet the pre-requisites.

My questions then are those:

What are those powers?

Are they the same described in the prestige class related to the houses of perfection?

How many ki powers the character gets with this feat?

I googled after reading your post (I didn't know that feat) and I discovered there are other feats with Perfect Style as prerequisite (for example Unfolding Wind Strike that gift you abilities consuming ki point. So I think those are the "powers".

That dont make much sense since those feats need BAB +9 or more to be taken while Perfect Style need only BAB +5. Its like spending a feat to gain a ki pool and not having anything to use those points on.

Also that feat can be taken by non-monks and non-monks dont have ki powers to begin off.

I dont know what was the intention with this feat, but the way it was writen it gives the impression that the character get a power or group of powers that he can activate using the ki pool he receives from the feat.

Check here for more information on style feats yes the feat grants nothing but the ki pool and energy resist to start with you have to take the other feats for options.

Like Talonhawke said, Perfect Style is the base upon the other feats could build on.
It allows no ki user with a little amount of Ki to performe the others abilities (and the energy resistance is decent too as extra for the class that already have ki pool but still have to choose the feat).
Probably they found too much to give the ki pool and a ki fueled ability directly into a other feats.
