OK...I have a barbarian who wants to specialize heavily in unarmed combat using the various rage powers. The one that seems ideal is the Brawler rage power because it grants you the Improved Unarmed Strike feat while raging.
But that leaves me with a problem. There are a lot of good feats that require Improved Unarmed Strike as a prerequisite (Feral Combat Training comes to mind).
So I guess does my faux IUS feat from Brawler count for picking up these later feats?
It seems like such a waste to be forced to spend a feat slot on something I already get. And I do figure that any feats building off of Brawler would shut down if my character isn't raging at that moment.
