So, I was reading through the Core Rulebook again, and something I never noticed before caught my attention.
In the Fighter rules, a Fighter is described as being able to take combat feats as bonus feats at 1st level, and every even level after that. The rules don't state, however, that the fighter still has to meet the prerequisites for those feats.
Looking at the rules for combat feats doesn't make this any clearer. There, it's stated that while Fighters can take the feats as bonus feats, other classes can take them as well, provided they meet the prerequisites. Again, however, there's no mention of Fighters having to meet them.
So, what's the official ruling on this? Do Fighters still have to meet a bonus feat's prerequisites as in 3.5, or was the removal of that line from the Fighter's bonus feat rules deliberate?
