Is it just me or do the crane style feats work pretty good for a fighter with the Free-hand Fighter archtype? I have someone in the campaign I am running playing one and if you combine this with the defensive, parrying and reposite abilities of the duelist prestige class it looks like it would be pretty good. (with or without the nerf to the crane style feats)
Wing/Riposte and Parry/Riposte don't work together anymore. The Duelist abilities require a full attack, while Wing/Riposte require total defense. Using the Fighting Defensively aspects is passable, but you would be paying far too many feats for too little bonus in my opinion.
If you want to use a Style feat, I would recommend Snake. Parry causes the attacks to miss, which would trigger Snake Fang. Plus the Style allows you to count unarmed strikes as piercing, which means they work with the Duelist's Precise Strike. You might want to use a MoMS dip to get free IUS and skip Sidewind, though.
If you really want to use Crane, I would recommend going Swordlord instead of Free-Hand and taking the style only (no Wing/Riposte). Swordlords have a 7th level ability that reduces penalties for Fighting Defensively by 2 and increases AC by the same, meaning you can get a total of +6 Dodge at no attack cost. No penalty means no benefit from Riposte except the riposte, and with the new errata I just can't see bothering with that or even Wing.
