Advanced Classes - Count as base classes for feats?


Advanced Class Guide Playtest General Discussion

Scarab Sages

Since the new classes are hybrids of 2 other base classes, do the new hybrid classes count as both of (or either) those base classes when choosing feats that have prerequisites like "Fighter 4th level" for Weapon Specialization?

For that matter, do they count as both of their base classes for anything else? So far the only clarification is that you cannot take any levels in the base classes that are in a hybrid class. (Like no rogue or alchemist levels if you have levels in Investigator.)

I think it depends on the class. For example, the Swashbuckler says its levels count as Fighter levels for purposes of Combat Feats for its Bonus feats. So in that case, Id say yes (and probably to all feats it gains, not just the Bonus ones it gets on its chart), but I wouldnt necessarily count Bloodrager levels as Barbarian levels (if there are even any "Barb level x" requirement feats lol) unless Bloodrager had something similar in it's text somewhere.

Just my 2cp, though. No idea if that is correct.

Your answers are most likely to be found HERE (which is probably where this thread will get moved to eventually).
