class feat selection doubt


Classes


Can you select a lower level class feat?
For example, can a 8th level wizard select a 2nd level class feat (as opposed to an 8th level one)?

Yes you can. You count as being all levels below your currnet level.

Ok, that sounds great!

Way better than the alternative. Would you mind giving me the page numbers for that rule, please?


I was looking for this rule, too, but couldn't find it. The best I could find was the implication that you can based on how spellcasting classes are listed (level 1 class feats are listed but they don't get class feats until level 2, barring gaining a bonus feat from being a human or somesuch).

If someone knows an actual rule on this, though, I'd love to see it!

There's classes like Alchemist with feat slots at 2nd level but no actual new feats to choose from until 4th. You're definitely intended to be able to take lower level feats. The level of a feat is just a minimum prerequisite.

I didn't think this would be even be a question... XD


Yeah, several classes MUST do so, pretty much all spellcasters, for example (especially the sorcerer after the update).

There would otherwise be no way for a member of an actual spellcasting class to take a 1st level class feat (as the only reason to designate the lowest level feats as 1st level or 2nd level is for their interactions with other feats).

And it used to be the case that there were no ancestry feats above 5th level, even though you also get an ancestry feats at 9th, 13th, and 17th levels.
