I have a quick question about the Ranger combat style feats. In the description it says: "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."
Reading this, it doesn't say that he can select his BONUS feats from the list; it says he can select his FEATS from this list. Is this intentional? If so, that would mean that a Ranger would be able to select any of these feats without the prerequisites at any point through character advancement. Is there any official ruling on this?
By the rules of English I vanquish thee, awkward ability wording!
Ahem, if you follow the paragraph structure, the second sentence is referring to the bonus combat style feats he earns through the ability. Those can be chosen regardless of if he meets the prerequisites. The first sentence sets up the paragraph being about his bonus feats. The second elaborates on them.
If he wishes to select any of these feats as normal feats during his odd levels, he must still meet any prerequisites it may have.
