Can a Ninja get with a General Feat the Extra Rogue Talent to be able to get a rogue talent?


Unless there is some buried FAQ answer somewhere, there is no solution to this question.

I believe James Jacobs was quoted in his question thread as having said it was most likely an oversight that there is no "extra ninja trick" feat.

By RAW, you cannot take the "Extra Rogue Talent" feat since the prequisite is to have Rogue Talents as a class ability.

Still, from most of the threads I've seen, most GMs seem to hand-wave it and allow Ninjas to take the "Extra Rogue Talent" feat to get more Ninja Tricks.

So...talk to your GM. If you're playing PFS, though, you're most likely out of luck since I believe that, for now, abides by the RAW rule on this.

and hey if I am wrong then-

nvm sandwich time


All right. Thanks I think that answer will do in the mean time :)


Another answer could be... The ninja can take Rogue Talent as a Ninja Trick. Therefore, he qualifies for the Extra Rogue Talent feat, because he has the Rogue Talent class feature. It's not elegant, but it should be close enough for rules lawyer.

cheers


Any new developments on this? Is it still up to interpretation if ninjas can take this feat?

The Player Companion Blood of Shadows contains Extra Ninja Trick, so you can take that instead.

The Concordance

And, by extension, use the Extra Ninja Trick to acquire the Ninja Trick "Rogue Talent".


Thanks. Blood of Shadows looks cool.

I don't know if I can make the argument that Jubal Breakbottle and Doragon Feiku work because you don't really have a class feature actually called Rogue Talent.

The Concordance

"Rogue Talent" (italicized) is a Ninja Trick that allows you to select an actual Rogue Talent (no italics).

So you choose the feat "Extra Ninja Trick (Rogue Talent)".

You can choose it multiple times, and you don't need the Rogue Talent class feature to do it.
