Question: Hatred Phantoms gain weapon Finesse at level 1, can they exchange this for a combat feat as they would gain it automatically due to elephant in the room?
Yes, you may swap the feat. Skinwalker is outside of the CRB, so it's not an auto approval. Sell me on it; what do you like about it?

plot GM only:

I think it will have the following interesting plot points:
from the point of view of the actual character.
--Am I an actual were-tiger?
--Is it actually safe to be in my "were form", for either me or my party?
--Apparently I can bite and claw things to death, and have a "professional mercenary" phantom parter thats really good at killing people. I also feel strong guilt for "something" I did but I dont know what. Am I or was I the baddy?

Mechanically, his 2 main modes of combat, his natural weapons and his phantom, are not exactly things he would want to show off in polite society. This adds a meaningful extra decision, do I show what I am?, in a lot of situations. As a player, I like making decisions.

I admiddetly do have some of this with just the phantom already, if these ideas dont sell it thats fine, I can reflavor him as human with relative ease.

Mightypion work in progress submission here.

Question: Hatred Phantoms gain weapon Finesse at level 1, can they exchange this for a combat feat as they would gain it automatically due to elephant in the room?

Mechanical overview:
--60 foot see in darkness due to fanglord
--Fights with natural weapons early on
--Desceptively tanky due to reasonable ACs (shield is available)
--Phantom is an effective scout
--OK at bluff, but not a true face
--Has all kn. skills, spellcraft and UMD, but kind of skillpoint scarce ith just 10 int.

Character overview:
--Is driven by guilt
--Initially is semi under the heel of his phantom, who while polite to other party members has no issues about guilt drivenness nor any lack of self confidence
--Will seek to slowly emancipate him and restore his confidence
--Initially, will freak out at the carnage he can cause

Progression:
--Dips in Urban Bloodrager or Mutagenic Mauler or Mutation warrior are possible.
