Are critical feats considered combat feats?

[Rogar Stonebow]

I was hoping to choose Butterfly Sting as a combat feat, thinking that it would be one, but it looks like it is not. I have seen it classified as a critical feat. Anyone know?

It was a critical feat in its original printing in Faiths of Purity but is now a combat feat in Inner Sea Gods. Use the Inner Sea Gods version.

Butterfly sting is, in my opinion, the best rogue feat ever.

Cool thanks!

Holy Gods! I've never seen that before, that would work VERY nicely in a melee heavy group. Wow.

That is really weird. Two feats with the same name and nearly identical wording but different feat categories and differing prerequisite lists. Confusing.

Rewrites happen, usually because they don't operate the way they were intended. That is why the most recent version published is the "correct" one.
