question about samura


Rules Questions


Weapon Expertise (Ex): At 3rd level, a samurai gains an unparalleled expertise with his chosen weapons. At 3rd level, the samurai selects either the katana, longbow, naginata, or wakizashi. The samurai can draw the selected weapon as a free action as if he had the Quick Draw feat. In addition, whenever he threatens a critical hit with the selected weapon, he gains a +2 bonus on the confirmation roll. Finally, his samurai levels stack with any fighter levels he possesses for the purposes of meeting the prerequisites for feats that specifically select his chosen weapon, such as Weapon Specialization.

i know this is probably an obvious answer, but do i have to have fighter levels to gain the benefit of fighter feats with my focus weapon or can i just stay full samurai and pick up say weapon specialization?


I wouldn't think so. 0+3=3


No, there are many classes and archetypes that say "your levels in class X stack with fighter levels" like this. The purpose of that language is to allow you to take feats as if you were a fighter of level X where X = your fighter levels + your levels in the relevant class. If you have no fighter levels, then x = your levels in the relevant class.
