Bonus Feats and Prerequisites

[Lexica Rose]

Hey Gang!

I have a question that came up last night. I thought that I had my head wraped around the answer last night but I am even more confused after reading some more.

If the Prerequisites for a feat are,

Quote:

Prerequisites: Grit class feature or Amateur Gunslinger feat, Dodge, Mobility.

and

Quote:

Grit feats interact with the gunslinger's grit class ability or the grit granted by the Amateur Gunslinger feat, usually by adding to her set of deeds. Sometimes these feats increase the number of grit points a character has or how that character regains grit points. Gunslingers can take grit feats as bonus feats.

Do I need to have the Grit class feature, Dodge and Mobility to take that feat?

[Cheapy]

Unless the bonus feats ability says you don't need to meet the prerequisites, then you need to meet them. There's no general rule that bonus feats ignore prereqs.

[Nefreet]

If you are a Gunslinger you would still need Dodge and Mobility to qualify for that feat. If you do, you can choose it as a bonus feat.

[Nefreet]

Darn. Ninja'd by 12 seconds.

[Lexica Rose]

Thank you Cheapy and Nefreet!

Thats the bit of info that I was missing.

You guys rock!

[Chernobyl]

can a gunslinger who takes a level in fighter, choose a grit feat as the bonus feat?

[claudekennilol]

Yes, as long as it's still a combat feat.

The above is true, though it doesn't look like there are any grit feats that are also combat feats.

[Chernobyl]

so really no then. ok, I'll have to look at a retrain then for that level.
