How did you manage to get Crane Riposte at level 3?
"At 1st level, 2nd level, and every four levels thereafter, a master of many styles may select a bonus style feat or the Elemental Fist feat. He does not have to meet the prerequisites of that feat, except the Elemental Fist feat. Alternatively, a master of many styles may choose a feat in that style’s feat path (such as Earth Child Topple) as one of these bonus feats if he already has the appropriate style feat (such as Earth Child Style). The master of many styles does not need to meet any other prerequisite of the feat in the style’s feat path. "
This does not say you may ignore feat requirements for regular leveling up feats, only for your bonus feats at 1st 2nd and then 6th and so on.
Am I wrong in this? If not, do you think this notably changes your experience with crane style?
Hmm.. Could you instead play a human monk, take dodge as your level 1 feat, crane style as bonus human, crane wing as monk bonus feat, and then crane riposte at 2?
