does the new classes count as their base classes for feats?

[Steve Derouin]

in the podcast Jason said that he wanted the new classes to count as their base classes for feats, is this true does a Warpriest count as both a fighter and a cleric for feats?

Follow-up question, do the ACG classes have retraining class synergy with their base classes or with the classes their base classes have synergy with?

At this point in time, only the ones specified count. So Brawlers count as Fighters and Monk; Swashbucklers count as fighters for bonus feats, and so on. AFAIK, Warpriest doesnt have that distinction.

So can a swashbuckler take weapon specialization?

I'm assuming if the class qualifies for the feats, it also qualifies for the Traits.

True or False?

You may want to read the post above you.

Regardless of if that ruling for all classes will happen, read the Swashbuckler bonus feat section again. Last line specifically says that Swashbuckler levels count as fighter ones.

At any rate it works out really nicely that you get a new bonus feat at each step of the Weapon specialization line.
