I'm getting ready to play in my first pathfinder society game andi have a question about the dawnflower dervish arch. It says you get the dervish dancer feat as a bonus feat in place of bardic knowledge. You get bardic knowledge at first level, so i've been assuming that's when you get dervish dance, but it does not specify that you get to skip the pre-reqs (as things like the monk's obtaining stunning fist does), and it does not specify getting it at the bards first level as most replacement feats do. I can't imagine it not doing these things, but it also seems weird not to have specified it.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.


Even though it doesn't specify, like it should have, that the Dawnflower Dervish ignores the prereqs on Dervish Dance it pretty much has to because no level one character of any race can meet the prereqs for Dervish Dance at level one.

Dervish Dance as a prereq of 2 ranks in perform dance.

That was my thought as well. I just didn't want to show up and have my whole character concept screwed.


I have yet to meet a single GM who when show the prereqs for Dervish Dance and the fact that the Dawnflower Dervish gets it at level 1 doesn't conclude that the Dawnflower Dervish is obviously intended to ignore the prerequisites.


Is there any archetype that gets a single bonus feat (not one from a list) who has to have the prerequesites?
