Doubt with fighter class feat(Prerequisites)


Rules Questions


Good day good people.

Ive just discover this world of role playing, and im getting a little addicted, pathfinder is mi first role playing game and i love it.
Im so full of doubt, but right now i have a doubt with the fighter class.

In the core book indicates that the fighter have a bonus feat each X lvl and is has to bee a fighter class feat. My question is : Do the fighter has to meet all the prerequisites for each feat?

Example:

can i choose "combat expertise" if i do not have 13 int?, in addition after that can i choose "whirlwind attack" if i don't meet the 13 DEX and base attack bonus +4 nor "Spring attack"?

Or just choose "cleave" thats requires "power attack" if i don't have it?

thanks guys.!!!


You need to qualify for the bonus feats you choose. The general rule is that you have to qualify for every feat.

Compare that to the Ranger's Combat Style feat which has this line: "He can choose feats from his selected combat style, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites."

That allows rangers to choose feats that they don't have the per-requisites for. Two-weapon Fighting is a favorite since they don't need to have the dexterity requirement and can focus in strength to deal more damage.

However, if you chose Power Attack at first level, then you can choose Cleave with your bonus feat at first level.
