Alternate favored class bonus for human fighter


Advice and Rules Questions


So a friend of mine claims to have found an alternate favored class bonus for the fighter, but it only works for a human fighter. Instead of the +1 to CMD, he found an ability that is 3PP and it allows you to trade in your bonus skill rank for being human for another bonus feat, but only when you would get a bonus feat from the class. I cant seem to find this ability and am starting to think that he's "pulling my leg" on this matter. I would like some input on this matteras to if this ability truly exhists or not.


As you are asking about 3PP, this isn't really a question for this forum, as it is for the discussion of Paizo material.

To address your question, there is no online repository of all 3PP material, so make him show you where he got it from, and decide from there. Anyone can write 3PP, some of it is good, other is complete drek.


He only uses paizo stamp of approval 3PP products, but thanks for the help

Basically, what it comes down to is that guy being able to produce some book that has that rule in your game. Then you just decide whether you want to use said rule. The burden is on the player to cite the rule. As you describe it, it sounds like a terrible rule. I believe the Paizo open content logo is just accepting paizo's terms and conditions for using their rules in your material. It is not a seal of approval for well written game stuff

I'm going to highlight a part of your sentence as to answer your question. No materials, either Paizo, 3PP, or whatever, allow you to transform 1 skill point to a feat whenever you get a bonus feat, especially as a Favored Class Bonus. That highly goes against the precedent that Paizo sets with its other subjects

My best suggestion is you point out that he's fibbing you, for starters. Then, take a subject that is similar to what the player wants and propose it to him as to how what he wants is going to be ran. The best comparison for what he wants is the Warpriest's favored class bonus option for Humans:

Favored Class Bonus (Human) wrote:
Warpriest: Gain 1/6 of a new bonus combat feat.

It's not RAW, but if the player is truly wanting to transform his extra skill points (I have no idea why he doesn't just take the extra hit points), it's not broken to give him the above option, and it's actually nice, since he can actually take that option by 1st level (unlike the actual Warpriest class, which requires that he be of 3rd level to take, since he doesn't get the bonus feat class features until 3rd level).
