Question about Rogue talents

[Patcher]

I'm curious about the advanced talents, specifically the "Feat" one.

I know the core rulebook says "A rogue cannot select an individual talent more than once" (p. 68), but the the wording for the Feat option under the advanced talents confuses me: "A rogue may gain any feat that she qualifies for in place of a rogue talent." (p. 70)

Is the feat option presented under advanced talents itself a talent? Or can rogues, past level 10, use all future rogue talent gains for more feats? I'm inclined to think it's the former, though the latter would be convenient (maybe extremely so).

[snobi]

We allow them to be used on feats every time. Our reasons:

1. The "in place of" verbiage you quoted.
2. To support #1, "Feat" is not alphabetized, but at the end of the advanced talent section.
3. Skill Mastery can be taken multiple times.

[Brain in a Jar]

Yes, the Feat is a talent itself as it is listed with the other Advanced Talents.

So no by the rules you could not take it more than once.

Skill Mastery has wording in it that allows you to take it more than once.

So if the talent specifically says, A rogue may gain this special ability multiple times, then you could.
