I've settled for a fighter !

Quick question, however... The description of the fighter says that from level a fighter can swap feats :
Quote:
A fighter can choose to learn a new bonus feat in place of a bonus feat he has already learned. In effect, the fighter loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. The old feat cannot be one that was used as a prerequisite for another feat, prestige class, or other ability. A fighter can only change one feat at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the feat at the time he gains a new bonus feat for the level.
Does that mean that when my character reach level 4 (and a +4 base attack bonus) I can choose to learn a feat requiring a base attack bonus of +4 instead of any previous feat I acquired at level 3 ? Or did I misunderstand something ?

Aw written, seems that way, but I wonder if this was not originally meant to not work that way. Bards and Sorcerers can do the same with a spell known, but they must replace a spell with one of the same level. Since this ability is the fighter's equivalent of that, it stands to reason that in actuality, they should replace the feat with another one they could have obtained at the same time as the original feat.

Edit: @ Kaosanddomm: I have a question about your character. It seems he owns a large firearm which must be fired from a cart, but yet I don't see you owning a cart. Did you forgot to buy it or have I simply missed it? Or maybe he's carrying on his shoulder, hoping to buy a cart in the near future? :P

It's precisely what made me wonder... I'll pick a feat the character could have obtained at level 3 then. Thanks !

The cart is part of the weapon. It lives on the cart. Atleast that's what I thought.

Fighter: Can I use the Fighter bonus feat class feature to retrain a feat that I gained at 1st level (such as Cleave) to gain a feat that I did not qualify for at 1st level, but do qualify for now (such as Lunge)?

Yes. So long as the feat that you "lose" is not used as a prerequisite for any other feat, prestige class, or other ability, you can gain any feat that you qualify for at the time that you retrain it.

@ Kaosanddoom: Oh, I see. Well, you might still want to buy a cart and an ox to cart that darn thing on long journeys. :P

@ Naatkinson: Okay thanks. A bit overpowered and cheesy for my taste, but hey, the rules are the rules...

If that's a rule you wanted to ignore, I don't think anyone would be surprised. It's kind of a weird one to me as well.
Apr 26, 2016 9:46 pm
Yeah, I'd prefer ignoring it. I'll use my GM fiat on that one, no cheesing feats with that rule. :P

Cart and ox. Will add
Trust me, you'll need those. ;)

Actually, now that I think about it, everyone will most likely need a mount, or perhaps you can always chip in for a cart or carriage for the group...

Jabes and I have a question about aasimar's racial traits. Are those the same traits as the 2 ones everyone starts with? However, the description says those can replace the standard aasimar racial traits. Like for example you could choose Halo to replace Celestial Resistance for example?
Apr 26, 2016 10:54 pm
It all depends. There are additional racial traits that only Aasimar can take for their 2 that everyone starts with, but the Alternate Racial Traits in the Advanced Race Guide are something different. They can replace the traits that aasimar are normally born with, providing a bit more diversity among the race. Halo can replace Celestial Resistance, and then can cast "Light" around their head instead of getting Acid, Cold, and Electricity resistance.

Specifically, I was considering a Garuda-blooded Aasimar, but want to replace the Snake-hater trait with the Deathless Spirit trait. It's unclear to us whether this character would then still be eligible for two character traits (such as Reactionary, Heirloom Weapon, etc)
Apr 26, 2016 11:15 pm
Racial traits and the other traits are totally separate, taking one does not restrict the other.

Ah, teh confusion that comes form calling different things the same... XD

Okay then Jabes, proceed as per the PM I sent you then.

Are barbarians still illiterate in PF?
Apr 27, 2016 2:48 am
I do not believe so. None of the source material mentions illiteracy anymore, so it's GM's choice.

BTW, thanks for the big red button in the Pen and Paper Forums. It's driving me crazy, because I wanna push it. :P
