Posting from my "PCGen Alias".
I have received a PCGen bug report concerning the Monk Sensei archetype and while investigating it, have found a conundrum.
The PRD Monk Table lists Monk bonus feats at 1, 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 level.
The PRD Sensei archtype removes bonus feats at 2, 6, 12(?), 18 level.
It is been FAQ requested, but not answered. Or at least I can not find an answer on the boards or in the FAQs.
I was wondering how HeroLab handles this, ie. do they remove 10 or 14 or both or neither?

I happened to have herolab open when I saw this post.
I created an 18th level monk and it only gave me 2 bonus feats.
The feats gained at 2, 6, 10, and 18 and replaced.
The feats at level 1 and level 14 are retained.
There is no bonus feat at level 12. I am assuming they meant to say it replaces the bonus feat at level 10.

Thank you for the information.
I was hoping that HeroLab, being an "official" product would have more access to the developers for these "typo" type issues.

That typo is on the paizo side. Herolab can't do anything about it, but mechanically the class works as intend.
edit: I misunderstood. Herolab is often corrected by posters such as us when it has an error. They don't get information until it is posted in errata/FAQ, just like the rest of us.
Understand that the typo is on Paizo side. I was hoping that the HeroLab folks would be able to pick up the phone and say, "ok which one is correct?" to the Paizo folks. If not, I guess they picked the one that made most sense to them. And that is ok with me also.
If I change PCGen(*) to match HeroLab, then either we both are correct in our interpretation or we are both wrong, but at least we are consistent with each other.

* Right now, PCGen removes *all* bonus feats, with a note to get with Paizo. My changing it will give back the 1st and 14th level bonus feat.
