Magus Bonus Feats

[AzureKnight]

Am I the only one that finds it odd that the Magus gains extra bonus feats as part of their class progression and can't select Extra Arcana or Extra Arcane Pool with those feats? These are two feats designed solely for the Magus.

Nope, haven't really thought about it.

Should probably be in General Discussion too.

Usually bonus feats are something a bit more exciting than more of the same. The other problem is that certain archetypes can delay eligibility for these feats. (Bladebound I'm looking at you) and that can bring in complications.

Is it really that problematic to just spend a standard feat slot?

it is odd, but at the levels you get the bonus feats at, you also also get a feat from odd levels.

I deal with it by retraining a Feat that would count as Bonus Feat to get Extra Arcane and then take that Feat as the new Bonus one. Using retraining rules - but yes odd and cost extra resources and time.
