Ascetic Style + more than 1 style feat question

[Jeff Clem]

Can you apply any amount of Style feats to Ascetic Style or do they all have to be swift activated?

I know Pummel Style can't be added.

You cannot have more than one style feat active unless you have a feat or class ability that allows you to do so.

The only ways to do this currently is to be a Master of Many Styles monk, a Varisian Free-Fighter fighter, or to take the Weapon Style Master weapon mastery feat.

All of those options grant you the ability to enter several styles using the same action.

Yes, but if you're a Free-Style Fighter entering more than one style at the same time is a move action instead of a swift action, and the Master of Many Styles doesn't get the option to enter multiple styles with the same action until level 8.

Free-Style Fighter:

At 3rd level, a freestyle fighter can freely mix two of the styles he knows into a more flexible style. A free-style fighter can have an additional style feat stance active simultaneously with his first style feat stance. He can enter all of his allowed stances as a move action or one stance as a swift action.

MoMS:

At 1st level, a master of many styles can fuse two of the styles he knows into a more perfect style. The master of many styles can have two style feat stances active at once. Starting a stance provided by a style feat is still a swift action, but when the master of many styles switches to another style feat, he can choose one style whose stance is already active to persist. He may only have two style feat stances active at a time.

At 8th level, the master of many styles can fuse three styles at once. He can have the stances of three style feats active at the same time. He gains a bonus on attack rolls equal to the number of styles whose stances he currently has active. Furthermore, he can enter up to three stances as a swift action.

Weapon Style Mastery:

You can have the chosen style and a second style active at once. Starting a stance provided by a style feat is still a swift action, but you can assume both the chosen weapon style's stance and another style's stance simultaneously using this action.

This ability doesn't stack with other abilities that allow you to have multiple styles active at the same time.

Assuming you have a class ability or feat that allows the simultaneous use of multiple styles, as folks said, you can apply as many as allowed by that ability. If they make sense with Ascetic Style.

Yeah Pummeling Style is pretty specific, but I'd argue something like Dragon Style or Panther Style is less specific than Ascetic Style.
If that is the case, a Free-style fighter of appropriate level could wield a 9-ring broadsword and use Ascetic Style, Swordplay Style, and Panther Style simultaneously.

Cool thanks for your help everyone.
