Samurai and Fighter specific feats


Samurai Discussion: Round 1


So quick question about Samurai's taking fighter specific feats such as Weapon specialization.

I know that their Samurai levels and Fighter levels stack for meeting prerequisites on Fighter specific feats for their weapon mastery weapon, but can a single class Samurai pick those feats up or would it have to take one level of fighter to get them?

Example: Starting a new game at level 4 with a Samurai, could I take 4 levels of Samurai (taking weapon mastery Bastard Sword) and get Weapon Specialization (Bastard Sword) as long as I had Weapon Focus (Bastard Sword). Or would I have to go 1 Fighter/3 Samurai?

I personally think I could just go 4 Samurai and be fine, but I need to know for sure.


I was wondering about this too.


Devs dont want to encourage mutli classing while leaving it open as an option. Im certain you dont have to take a level of fighter to do this, its just cagey wording... see eldritch knight for example
