Possibility to have all 5 genie styles with Master of Many Styles?

[JiCi]

(I'm pretty sure it's a rule question, because I want to know if it's legit or not...)

I would like to make a Suli monk with the Master of Many Styles archetype. Suli (Qadira, Gateway to the East pg. 28) are descendants from jann. Take a good guess on what styles I want to choose. That's right: all five genie styles.

Here's the catch: all 4 major genie styles require the Elemental Fist feat, which for some reasons the monk can't choose without meeting the prerequisites. However, If I select the Monk of the Four Winds archetype and select to replace Stunning Fist by Elemental Fist at 1st level with the Elemental Fist feature, then I would be allowed to select the genie styles feat without meeting the requirements except for the Elemental Fist feat... which I would get instead of Stunning Fist.

For the rest, well, I have 6 bonus feats (from the Monk's progression) that I can spend on styles, plus 10 feats (using the standard level progression). Each style has 3 feats each = 15 out of 16. Good to go !Sure, the results are rather weak... but it does give a distinct flavor to the character.

All in all, would it be possible to have all 5 genie styles in one character, considering the extra work to get the Elemental Fist feat ?

Thanks in advance

Any feedback ?

Given that you answered your question in the same post you asked....I'm not sure what else you need to know. As long as you satisfy the preqs for a feat you can take it.

First off, you cannot combine Monk of the Four winds and Master of many styles as they both replace perfect self, that being said you could in theory take all of the elemental stances but you would be unable to effectively use them all at once since each one requires you to be using elemental fist with their respective element to gain the bonus (and djinni style requires you to do electrical damage), the good news though is the dragon's ferocity style feat grants you the elemental fist progression given to you by monk of the four winds
