fighter bonus feats

[Lady-J]

can a fighter take racial feats if the racial feat provides only combat benefits or has fighter as a prerequisite?

[Tarantula]

As long as it is a Combat feat.

[Níðhöggr]

A Fighter may take a feat as one of his Bonus Feats if he meets all the prerequisites for that feat and it is a Combat feat. The latter condition is indicated by a "(Combat)" in the feat name.

[Starglim]

I'm not aware of any category of racial feats in Pathfinder. As Níðhöggr said, a fighter can take a feat if he meets its prerequisites and can take it as a bonus feat if it is a combat feat.

[PossibleCabbage]

An Elf fighter could take "Elven Combat Training (Combat, Elf)" or a Dwarf fighter could take "Goblin Hewer (Combat, Dwarf)" as a bonus feat, because they are explicitly combat feats.

A Changeling Fighter could not take "Mother's Gift (Changeling)" as a bonus feat because even though a natural armor bonus or a bonus to attack and damage rolls with claw attacks is only really applicable in combat situations, because it is not explicitly a combat feat.

ok ty is there a way to get your fighter level higher for the purposes of fighter feats with out actually leveling up (like an item or feat that would treat you fighter level 4 levels higher for the purposes of feat requirements)

Not that I'm aware of unless you are multiclassed and then you still can't go higher than your hit dice.

A few classes, particularly in the ACG but some earlier (off the top of my head, look at brawler, samurai, magus, warpriest) allow you to count levels of that class as fighter levels to some extent to qualify for feats. You could see if any of those classes suit your concept.

got tempered champion archetype anti paladin (counts anti paladin levels as fighter levels for qualifying for feats) and fighters levels they stack but looking for something that can get me a feat that needs fighter 16 but that's a long way away and looking to try and speed up the process.

lol, no. Nothing short of a custom item will let you act as if you have more fighter-esque levels than you actually have.

[Cyrad]

There's no magic item that increases your effective fighter level for feat prerequisites. Such an item would be incredibly broken anyway.

[Fistbeard McBeardfist]

They have level prerequisites exactly because you're not supposed to have them before a certain level.

[Lady-J]

so the fighter can only get his weapon focus/specialisation bonuses to all weapons in his weapon training group only at the same time wizards are casting 9th level spells.... that seems fair

[Chess Pwn]

That has nothing to do with fighter levels for feats does it?
