>2) Trip attempt provokes an AoO from charging attacker and any other threatening enemies due to lack of Improved Trip.
>3) The attacker and any other threatening enemies take AoOs on Flowing Monk.

You only provoke an AoO from the target of your trip attack.

>If the Monk fails by 10 or more, the Monk is knocked prone.

If you are using a weapon with the "trip" feature then the monk can drop her weapon to not knocked prone herself.

That's not how any other pre-requisite works, so why would this be different?

If it was meant to be taken only at first tier, it would explicitly say.

Well, this is mythic, so it is different. :) The prerequisite could be rewritten as simply "Mythic tier" to clarify it.

I've read at least 3 conversations and 1 mythic guidance document that misinterpreted this feat. Simply changing the first sentence to: "Select another mythic path other than your current path." would go a long way.

It doesn't say you gain the 10th tier ability, so you don't gain it.

Sure, it doesn't say it, but it starts to imply that it was intended to be by calling the feat Dual Path and giving you the initial feature. It isn't a stretch to think that the 10th tier feature was accidentally not mentioned. Or, to look at it a different way, if the initial feature wasn't mentioned then it would be implied that you get both, because you now fully have both paths.

The Archmage ability “Crafting Mastery (Ex)” should be renamed to Item Creation Mastery. At first glance, a player would likely assume that it made you mythic at the skill: Craft.

“Speedy Summons (Su)” has the text “You must be at least 3rd tier to select this ability.” However, it appears under the 1st tier list of abilities.

“Many Forms (Su)” allows you to alter self at will, but the text makes it sound like it is not actually the spell you are affected by. Can this ability be dispelled or detected? “You can alter your appearance at will as if using alter self.”

“Mythic Spellpower (Sp)” is a 3rd tier ability, but it effectively has the same strength as taking the Universal path ability “Extra Mythic Power (Su)” and the mythic feat “Extra Mythic Power”, which give you 2 more uses of mythic power per day that isn’t limited to just spells. So an Archmage is better of taking these other two up to three times each before taking this Archmage ability.

“Surge (Su)” doesn’t specifically state that this modifies a natural 1 on the die roll. If your intent was to allow this to avoid critical failures, then this should be stated.

The text in Dual Path is controversial. The statement “Select a mythic path other than the path you selected at your moment of ascension.” is used to identify the path that you selected when you ascended, but many players read this as you can only take the Dual Path feat at the moment of ascension.

The Prerequisite also isn’t clear. Anyone that ascends has the 1st mythic tier, so anyone mythic qualifies; however, some believe that this references the only time at which you can take this feat.

As written, there is nothing stopping a player from taking this feat again to get a 3rd path or more.

Additionally, it looks like the 10th level feature in the newly selected path isn’t gained, so you may want to spell that out whichever way you intended it.

There are questions on what tier the feature and abilities of the new path function at. Since there is nothing stating anywhere that you need to keep track of another tier for the new path, I assume that they function at the only tier you have.

It looks like Power Attack (Mythic) got progressively better with BAB, but Combat Expertise (Mythic) did not. Was that an oversight or a balance decision?

The base ability "Mythic Saves" from the chart doesn't match the description below "Mythic Saving Throws". Also, the description mentions that if you fail a save from a mythic source then you take full effects, which is a given; however, it doesn't state what happens from a non-mythic source. Is there something special that happens?

"Mythic Saving Throws (Ex): At 5th tier, whenever you succeed at a saving throw against a spell or special ability, you suffer no effects as long as that ability didn't come from a mythic source (such as a creature with a mythic tier or mythic ranks). If you fail a saving throw that results from a mythic source, you take the full effects as normal."

The Base Mythic Ability "Force of Will" has the text "At 7th tier...", but in the chart, it appears at 6th tier.
