By selecting the style, you get these benefits compared to choosing the feats as regular ones:1) you don't need to meet the prerequisites2) you get them as bonus feats (so your regular feats could be anything else)3) you get the second feat one level earlier4) you get a +2 on the skill5) you (may) get the extra at level 6thThese are all quantitative advantages.On the other hand, you HAVE to get those 3 feats and skill exactly even if you wanted only some of them. This is a flexibility disadvantage.I am sure that some of the styles are going to be just for munchkins, while the ones proposed here seem to have poor feats (Improved Overrun) or unrelated feats (Imp Grapple / Imp Disarm) just to make the style less powerful.It doesn't convince me that much... Also the feats and skills associated to a style don't seem to me to go together very much, the only one who is designed very well is the last one IMHO.I like however all the three 6th-level extras, but I'd rather like them to be just feats.</blockquote>
