A character who masters the feats within a style gains a mastery ability related to the techniques of that style. Some styles have one mastery ability; other have multiple abilities that a character gains as she masters different aspects of the style. Mastery abilities are a bit like the synergy bonuses a character gains if she has several ranks in certain skills: characters who learn certain combinations of feats gain an extra edge for doing so.Example:Foot & Fist Mastery Prerequisite: Improved Unarmed Strike, Power Attack, Roundabout Kick, Flying Kick, Fists of Iron, Deflect Arrows, 5 or more ranks in Jump and Tumble. Benefit: You gain a +10 competence bonus on Balance, Jump, and Tumble checks.Here's one that I propose:Lightning Reflexes+Combat Reflexes: increase your number of AO per round by +1. (Normal: 1, Combat Reflexes: 2+Dex bonus, Combat Reflexes+Lightning Reflexes synergy: 3+Dex bonus.)In the same token: Improved Uncanny Dodge + Lightning Reflexes + Combat Reflexes: You can make AoO when flat-footed.One or the other, maybe not both.</blockquote>
