Am I wrong about this? I saw something in the paladin/archer thread which showed the paladin having 3 feats at first level. Do theyhave a bonus feat I am missing?
You are right, one feat for first level, one for being human. If that paladin/archer thread is not just wrong, perhaps the character took a fighter level for first level.
The Paladin/Archer may have been using an archetype. Divine Hunter grants Precise Shot at 1st level (in exchange for heavy armour proficiency), which would be in addition to the normal 2 feats from being a 1st level human.
I was very confused. Just when I thought I had a grasp on the rules....
It also could have been a bonus feat... For example, the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide states that the players should ask the GM if they can take one of 3 feats as a bonus feat at level 1.
