The far strike monk says that you may add to the bonus list any targeting feat. What does this mean?
The feat "pin point targeting" is a targeting feat but i doubt we're supposed to be able to take it considering it has a bab 16 requirement.
"A monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for these feats to select them."
If so, this archetype is bananas.
Reference:
Bonus Feats
A far strike monk adds the following feats to his list of bonus feats at 1st level: Far Shot, Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and any targeting feat
Pinpoint Targeting (Combat)
You can target the weak points in your opponent's armor.
Prerequisites: Dex 19, Improved Precise Shot, Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, base attack bonus +16.
Benefit: As a standard action, make a single ranged attack. The target does not gain any armor, natural armor, or shield bonuses to its Armor Class. You do not gain the benefit of this feat if you move this round
Full bonus feat quote
Bonus Feats
A far strike monk adds the following feats to his list of bonus feats at 1st level: Far Shot, Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and any targeting feat.
At 6th level, he adds the following feats: Improved Precise Shot, Parting Shot, and Trick Shooter.
At 10th level, he adds the following feats: Improvised Weapon Mastery and Pinpoint Targeting.
So pin pointing targeting is added at Level 10, but what about every other targeting feat not mentioned?
Pinpoint Targeting is not a "targeting feat".
The term "any targeting feat" means any feat in the category called "targeting", not feats with the word "targeting" in their name. There are many other feat categories, such as combat, metamagic, style, etc. My guess is that the Ranged Tactics Toolbox book (where the far strike monk archetype is from) added this new category of feats.
For example: Ranged Trip is a feat in the (combat, targeting) categories. This is available to the monk archetype at level 1.
Thank you for the answers, clarifies it all.
