Classes / archetypes that can access Fighter only feats


Advice


Anyone have a list of classes and/or archetypes that can gain access to Fighter-restricted feats (other than Fighters of course)?

Scarab Sages

The Crusader Cleric Archetype gets limited access to a few fighter-specific feats I believe... As does the Samurai. I haven't seen an assembled list, but I can only assume there's one out there. If not maybe this is the chance to make one :)

Scarab Sages

I can't speak to other classes, but a Monk have three archtypes that can and a special case.

Martial Artiss can use Monk Levels to qualify for fighter only feats if using Unarmed/Monk weapons. Weapon Adepts get Weapon Specialization as a bonus feat, and Zen Archers can get Weapon Specialization and Point Blank Master as bonus feats. Soheis don't get fighter feats, but they get the weapon training class feature.

Specific fighter-restricted feats or all of them?

The Magus is the only class I know that gets access to all of them, but quite a few classes and archetypes offer specific fighter-restricted feats as bonus feats.

Bard (Arcane Duelist) gets Penetrating Strike and Greater Penetrating Strike.

Ranger (Archery style) gets Point Blank Master, which requires Weapon Specialization.

Monk (Zen Archer) gets Weapon Specialization with a bow (and then Point Blank Master).

Monk (Weapon Adept) also gets Weapon Specialization.

Cleric (Crusader) gets Weapon and Shield Specialization and Greater Specialization.

I'm sure there are a few prestige classes as well.

EDIT: As Ssalarn indicated, Samurai also allows more general access, though only to weapon-specific feats:

Weapon Expertise wrote:
Finally, his samurai levels stack with any fighter levels he possesses for the purposes of meeting the prerequisites for feats that specifically select his chosen weapon, such as Weapon Specialization.

Would this mean that a samurai without fighter levels qualifies for fighter feats, though?

My reading of that ability would say to me that a Samurai with 20 levels of Samurai and 0 levels of Fighter counts as a level 20 Fighter for feats related to his chosen weapon.


Sword Saint :)


Mainly I was looking for something (with a full BAB) that would potentially be more interesting than a fourth level of a Weapon Master to get Specialization for halfling knife master. I guess he'll just stick with Ftr 4 and get the bonus feat to use on Specialization.
