Master of Many Styles Errata

[Jason Robbs]

One part of the new errata has me confused:

At 1st level, 2nd level, and every four levels
thereafter, a master of many styles may select a bonus
style feat or the Elemental Fist feat (Advanced Player’s
Guide 158). He does not need to meet the prerequisites of
that feat, except the Elemental Fist feat.

Does that mean that the MoMS can still take any "Style" marked feats without prereqs? In Ultimate Combat only the first feat in the chain is marked as a style feat but elsewhere (i.e. Unfolding Wind Rush in Inner Sea Combat) is marked as a style feat.

You can only take the initial style feats. At 6 the wild card slots bring new functionality...

Compare to previous text that makes it clear you can take the chain after style feat:

PRE-ERRATA

Quote:

Bonus Feat: At 1st level, 2nd level, and every four levels thereafter, a master of many styles may select a bonus style feat or the Elemental Fist feat. He does not have to meet the prerequisites of that feat, except the Elemental Fist feat. Alternatively, a master of many styles may choose a feat in that style’s feat path (such as Earth Child Topple) as one of these bonus feats if he already has the appropriate style feat (such as Earth Child Style). The master of many styles does not need to meet any other prerequisite of the feat in the style’s feat path.

That whole chunk about the choosing feat in the style feat path is gone, and you get the wild card slot.

It makes the archetype much better at doing its thing, but much worse of a dip.

What about the Unarmed Fighter?

At 1st level, a unarmed fighter gains the Improved Unarmed Strike feat and any single style feat as a bonus feat. The unarmed fighter need not meet all the prerequisites of the style feat he chooses, but style feats that grant additional uses of the Elemental Fist feat cannot be taken until the unarmed fighter has that feat.

I guess my question is what is a style feat? Is it only the first feat in a style chain or is it any feat marked with style type?

[Imbicatus]

A style feat is only the first feat in the chain. Following feats do not have the [style] descriptor, but only have the [combat] descriptor.

The ones in Inner Sea Combat have the style descriptor (see Unfolding Wind Rush above)

[Imbicatus]

I would suspect that is an error. The general rule is, style feats are only the initial "Style" feat. Additional feats in the chain are only combat feats that have the style feat as a prerequisite.

So with the new version of MoMS, do we know if it can be used with the Unchained Monk? Because that actually seems like it could make some cool things.

[Imbicatus]

Still can't use any archetypes with Unchained Monk per unchained itself. In a home game, ask your GM.

Incidentally, the thread linked by Imbicatus requests discussion to take place in that thread, so in that interest, I'm going to close this one.
