Worth skip?

[666bender]

I was thinking , taking 2 levels of master of many styles,
First take crane style than crane reposte.
Than, with levels take dodge and crane wing.
Why?
Because you start with -1 only minus when fighting defensive. Which is amazing. You don have to even keep one hand free !
Thoughts ?

Remember that you can't take the AoO from Crane Riposte unless you actually used Crane Wing.

What you can do with a MoMS is be a human, take dodge as the human feat, take crane style as the first level feat, and crane wing as the monk bonus feat.

Then, at second level, you can take crane riposte, or start a second style chain and delay crane riposte 'till later.

What style is great ton use with it?

[SlimGauge]

Early on Dragon Style is good (it lets you charge through difficult terrain and get a bit more damage). Snake Style is good if you can pump Sense Motive (my MoMS actually took Skill Focus in it). If you use MoMS to skip the intermediate feat, Snake Style/Snake Fang (skipping the intermediate Snake Sidewind) adds another potential AoO.

So it's crane , snake or turtle.
( I like free maneuver checks)
