I'm going to multiclass and was wondering how feats work for the first lvl.
For my fourth lvl I'm going to pick to multi into an alchemist.
Do I get a feat for being lvl one in that class? or are feats given for every total odd lvl?
Also do I get a bonus feat for being human like I did at lvl one in my first class? I don't think I do but I just want to make sure.
Feats are based on Character (total) Level, not class level. So, every odd level counting the total levels of all your classes -- barring the occasional bonus feat from various classes -- you get a feat.
The human bonus feat only applies at your very first level (you don't get it again for taking your first level in another class).
Class level = levels in any given class.
Character level = total levels from all classes.
Feats use the latter, class features use the former, generally speaking.
Hope this clears it up for you!
So would it be better that I take my fourth lvl still in fighter and take a feat for alche or just take the fourth lvl in alche like I was planning too?
So would it be better that I take my fourth lvl still in fighter and take a feat for alche or just take the fourth lvl in alche like I was planning too?I do not understand. Better in what way?
Well I get a feat every lvl as a fighter. So I could use that feat to benefit alche.
edit:
or should I just go into alche so I don't lose all it's higher lvls
Fighters do not get a feat every level.
From what I read from http://www.d20pfsrd.com they do.
"At 1st level, and at every even level thereafter, a fighter gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement (meaning that the fighter gains a feat at every level)."

That means a fighter gets a feat at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...
All characters get a feat at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ...If you take fighter 4, then you have to take the feat based on the fighter bonus feat rules, and have no levels of alchemist to qualify for any specific to alchemist feats. so, you could take pointblank shot, but not extra discovery.
I'd take the level of alchemist on an odd level, so you get your character level feat, unless you're wanting to pick up something that alchemists don't get until lvl 2.
