I can understand the situation Kerx is trying to explain. Yes by logic one wouldn't take a feat they have already taken unless it is expressly allowed. However due to the word usually the rule which should prevent someone from taking a feat which is not expressly allowed is more of a guideline which a player trying to word-game their dm could potentially get away with.

Since pf2 has been in my opinion trying to lay down solid rules so that dm interpretation of the rules is less often required the word usually should be stricken from the rule that talks about special section and the special section should be applied to any feat which can be taken multiple times. I believe all such feats already have the section, however I am not looking at the book right now so I may be wrong. From my understanding this is not so much a question of can we do this so much as by logic we shouldn't be able to. However the rule does not 100% back up the logic leaving a back door that some exploiting player could try to argue his way through.

In the interest of saving future dms from such players trying to take feats like toughness or specialty crafting (I think) multiple times and any other feat that might come out in the future the unnecessary word usually should not exist. If the devs have a reason to keep the word it should be stated in what case the special section is not the only way a feat can be taken multiple times. As specific rules always trump general so the word usually is not needed as a class or feat that grants additional feat acquisition past taking for the first time would trump the special section rule.
