Ranger Combat Style Feat Question


Rules Questions


Combat Style Feat (Ex)

At 2nd level, a ranger must select one combat style to pursue.

two-weapon combat.

The ranger's expertise manifests in the form of bonus feats at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level. He can choose feats from his selected combat style, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites.

Ok does this mean if its on this list that I can also pick if up as one of my regular advancement feats?

example: TWF and Double Slice are available as a Level 2 Combat Style Feat. Can I get one at level 2 and then turn around at level 3 and get the other? (lets assume I don't meet prerequisites for anything)


Sadly not, you must still meet the pre-reqs for all your regular advancement feats. The Combat Style Feats let you skip some of the progression, but only on the levels where you get those bonus feats specifically.


the combat style feats get you a feat for no prerequisites. However, it doesn't hold for normal feats.

If you decide to take Two-Weapon Fighting at level 3 as a two-weapon fighting ranger, you still need the prereqs.


thanks much!


Except aspect of the beast from the natural weapon style that has a special exception.

Silver Crusade

Say I mullticlassed as a fighter for my first six levels ( I wanted weapon training)

I built a shield basher using my feats

1. Improved shield bash
1 bonus. Two weapon fighting
1 human. Shield focus
2. Double slice
3. Weapon focus spiked gauntlet (I don't know I'm making it up)
4. Weapon spec. Spiked gauntlet
5. Power attack
6. Shield slam
7. Saving shield ( Ranger 1)
8 combat style weapon and shield

What feat do I get for my combat style here?

I've taken all the level 2 do I get to take level 6? Combat style?


It doesn't have the 3.0/3.5 language on getting another feat if you already have it... the solution is to take shield slam again (as a duplicate) and then go 2 more fighter levels to retrain the other one to something useful.

Otherwise... it's not a good place to be.
