Monk of the Four Winds & Bonus Elemental Style Feats

[Blueluck]

I'm GMing for a group that includes a Monk of the Four Winds. I'm considering adding the following feats to the monk bonus feats list:

level 1: Djinni Spirit, Efreeti Stance, Marid Spirit, Shaitan Skin
level 6: Djinni Style, Efreeti Style, Marid Style, Shaitan Style
level 10: Djinni Spin, Efreeti Touch, Marid Coldsnap, Shaitan Earthblast

What do you think of allowing this?

I play a monk of the four winds in pathfinder society. I've not had the need to get these bonus feats. In my opinion if someone wanted those feats, he could easily get them through the normal ways. But hey, thats just me.

I agree that it's not needed; I just think it might be fun and not overpowered.

TBH I'm not sure why they aren't already on there, the MotFW is the one that's most likely to make good use of them.

Though, uh, why do you have the initial <Insert Genie Here> Style Feats at level 6 but the second ones in the chain at level 1?

Oh, um, no reason!

level 1: Djinni Style, Efreeti Style, Marid Style, Shaitan Style
level 6: Djinni Spirit, Efreeti Stance, Marid Spirit, Shaitan Skin
level 10: Djinni Spin, Efreeti Touch, Marid Coldsnap, Shaitan Earthblast

I'm curious, maybe it is so obvious they never stated it.

But if you are a monk, say 5th level, and have both the Stunning Fist and Elemental Fist feats, you can use each 5 times right? They aren't the same expression of ki or whatever I think. Or is it that you could use Stunning Fist 3 times, and Elemental Fist 2?

How would you have both Stunning Fist and Elemental Fist at level 5? To gain either normally requires a BAB of +8. I guess perhaps if you managed the dragon style chain to get elemental fist?

But yes if you have both feats and are a monk you get the monk level # of uses (plus one for every four levels in other classes). However if you have stunning fist not from the monk class feature (ie took an archetype that gave it up and then later took it as a feat) you don't get the usual monk special additions to stunning fist since they are part of the monk class feature not the feat.
