Before other comments on the matter: I am aware that she doesn't qualify for Power Attack and have already swapped that out for Improved Initiative.
I didn't notice this before when I was running Nualia against the party, but then they let her live and even let her go (minus some hair and a few fingers as 'proof' of her death). They had a new party member who was a Kitsune with the Realistic Likeness racial feat take the place of Lyrie to go with Nualia and act as a spy.
This hasn't panned out the way the party was expecting, but that's something I could discuss in a more appropriate thread (on that note, where would you recommend I post about it? It's quickly developed into a redemption arc involving Desna). Suffice to say, Nualia's earned enough XP to level up, so I'm doing that as a Fighter, making her a Fighter 3 / Cleric of Lamashtu 4.
I had forgotten about the Power Attack and swapped it out this point, but then I noticed something: Nualia has Weapon Specialization (Bastard Sword), which has a prerequisite of "4th-level-fighter". But Nualia only had 2 Fighter levels when the party faced her. I was led to believe that because the Bonus Feats class feature of the Fighter did not say that the Fighter could ignore the prerequisites, that this was not a way to get the Weapon Specialization feat early.
So... Can someone tell me how Nualia is able to have the feat???

Because evil cheats.
Hahaha! That's the best answer. :P
*sigh* Thanks guys. As it turns out, I had completely missed that she had it anyways until I was levelling her up (I know... I ran it for the boss fight and then forgot it existed after that), so no harm. I just need to replace it with something else is all. I'm thinking Vital Strike...

I'm a bit confused, as neither the 3.5 version or the PF updated/Anniversary Edition version of Nualia has the Weapon Specialization feat. Where did you get the version of Nualia you are using from?

This is what one of the errata documents has to say about Nualia:
Nualia: Does not qualify for the Power Attack feat (base strength 12); due to breastplate her
speed should be 20 ft.; cannot have cat's grace memorized. Nualia's hitpoints include the false
life from her amulet but activating the amulet is in her combat tactics; gear should include
“masterwork comp longbow (+3 Str)” and spell component pouch; Initiative should say “Init +1
(base -1)”.
The bonus for Fury of the Abyss is included in her AC but not her melee attack, melee damage,
and CMB, which should all be +2 higher. However, this is an enhancement bonus and will not
stack with her +1 bastard sword.
