Why on earth would you not have a double bloodline though? Daddy was a demon, mama was a gold dragon. Hilarity and drama aplenty.
Another advantage that the cheese monk build has =pOh and dont forget to take the feat that makes your hit die a chief stat for your combat maneuver defense, otherwise you'll spend most rounds floored via trip.

I mean any build that dips 1 level of Monk. The Wis/Cha-to-AC that Monks have also adds that bonus to your CMDwhat build would that be?
Can you use both mutagen and cognatogen at the same time?
I didn't know that! Well then, MpuMngwana might also opt for a monk dip - it saves a feat, gives a bonus feat (dodge), opens your way to crane style (which you'll absolutely want being a kensai / duelist) and if you happen to be likable it will also give you bonuses to your AC (which is, as far as I'm concerned, the main lure of your build in the first place)I mean any build that dips 1 level of Monk.

Yeah, it gives a lot of toys. It's painful to delay the spellcasting yet another level, but.. hopefully it'll be worth it.I didn't know that!

Welp, some additional charisma might be in order. Scaled Fist dip is tempting. Should I go with 1 vivi instead of 2, or sacrifice one kensai/duelist level?
Also, while checking various options I took 1 rogue and 1 vivisectionist levels, it gave me two ranks of sneak attack. Is it supposed to stack this way, or is it a result of genius Russian programming?
Yes, it works that way in PnP.I didn't know that!

There were a lot of arguments about that in the old 3.5 days. Dramafags love to scream and shout about how class abilities from different classes do not stack. The classic is the monk Wis-to-AC and the ninja Wis-to-AC. Their argument is that adding your stat bonus twice means they come from the same source and so do not stack as per the rules as written.Isn't this duelist/kensai double AC stacking a clear case bug though? Relying on it is rather questionable.

The problem is that the abilities are identical in name. The Kensai page literally states:There were a lot of arguments about that in the old 3.5 days.

As usual, dramafags, like SJWs, use smoke and mirrors in order to deceive. The ability is the source. The stat is merely the measure. Two different abilities from two different classes do stack, regardless of which stat is referrenced. The caveat is if the ability gives a typed bonus (e.g., Nymph's Cha-to-AC ability gives a deflection bonus). Then, the rule about same type of bonuses not stacking comes into play (i.e., rings of protection are useless for Nymphs).
Canny Defense (Ex)
At 1st level, when a kensai is wielding his chosen weapon, he gains the canny defense ability. This is identical to the duelist prestige class ability of the same name, save that his chosen weapon may be of any type.
Fighter Training (Ex)
Starting at 7th level, a kensai counts his magus level –3 as his fighter level for the purpose of qualifying for feats (if he has levels in fighter, these levels stack), but forfeits the benefit of such feats with weapons other than his favored weapon.
This ability replaces knowledge pool.
