What are some good style feats for a Fighter wielding a two-handed Katana, Full-Plate, and Improved Crit(Katana)? Synergy with Vital Strike is preferable unless there is a better option.
Keep in mind, most style feats require unarmed strike.
Kirin Style can be used, but I'm going to assume you can't, and it isn't that good.
Janni style uses unarmed strike, but just grabbing one feat reduces charge penalties and enemy flank bonuses.
If you have a high sense motive, one feat of snake Style lets you dodge with that.
Two feats of earth child helps you trip giants.
A lot of stuff requires one hand free, plus some feat and skill taxes. Style feats are better for other classes.
It seemed that way from what I've seen. Swift Iron Style and Startoss Style are the only ones I saw that were not highly taxed or mostly useless for me.
Thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
The only style I can think of as remotely useful is Swordplay Style (Combat, Style), but honestly I would just spend all those feats in advanced weapon and/or armor training options and melee weapon mastery feats.
Crane style is not bad if you wish to fight defensively (tanking while the party gets into position) but it's quite feat intensive and it works better with a swordlord since that prestige class also focuses on defensive fighting.
