Anyone come up with cool combinations of monk styles for this variant? I'm pretty interested, but I'm kind of unsure about what to take.
It seems like because you can't really take Elemental Fist in any efficient way (like through Monk of the Four Winds) with this variant that it kills some of the genie-based styles, but it seems like combinations of Panther and Snake, for instance, and obviously others (need 5 by higher levels) would make for some cool stuff.
I have a Dragon, Snake, and Crane Master of Many Styles I'm looking to try.
And a Barbarian/Monk Tiger/Dragon Style monk I want to build.
Going to be a while before I get to try them though. But they look good on paper.
Just fyi, if you are a MoMM, then you can have Dragon Ferocity by 2nd level. That means you can take Elemental Fist (with only one choice of element) by 3rd level. This functions just as if you were a Monk of the 4 Winds. From that point on, you can take the genie style feats as soon as possible. You can also dip into an elemental or genie bloodline Sorcerer, and take the Sorcerous Strike feat to add a bit more elemental damage to your unarmed strikes.
I feel like a broken record, as I have probably said this on about 5 different threads now... =\

If you didn't read closely you'd miss you can take a Style feat or elemental fist as Monk bonus feats.
Also, as indicated abive, Dragon Style lets you take Elemental Fist as well.

Well, I've only caught this one playing of it, then :o). Thank you.
Personally I'm a fan of 1st-level Human Master of Many Styles into Crane Style at first level, second monk level into Crane Wing, and then Fighter levels or whatever else you want.
You know, I didn't think to expand past monk.
Panther Parry + Snake Fang seems like a good combination. That's 3 AOOs based on a person only attacking you once.
