I'm was wondering how this all ended up interacting:
Some monks from the APG forgo Stunning Fist for a whole slew of cool tricks.
They can choose to later pick up those tricks as feats.
Now, what happens when a monk decides to pick theses feats up?
Do they:
A) Function as the monk class feature, with progression in their abilities based on monk level
or
B) Function as written in their feat description, with the special rider of being usable for a number of times per day equal to monk level.
By my understanding of RAW, B is the answer, I was just wondering if there was an official statement on this, and what folks opinions are.

B. Definitely B. The only reason they progress is the ability that specifically says "This is what it does at higher levels" - the feat itself doesn't do that. Since each monk only gets one such ability, they only benefit from one.
Yup B it is.
Definitely cool to pick up a couple of them, with lots of uses, you just only get the improved version of the one for your archetype (or stunning fist if no archetype)
