The wording is not very clear on Wizard class feats. The one heading says starting at 2nd lvl Wizards get a class feat. Then the first sentence of the feats for Wizards state that 'every level' you get one.
Then under Universalist it says Universalist also get an extra wizard feat.
Do Universalist Wizards get an extra feat and when?
Do any 1rst lvl wizards get a new feat at all?
Thanks!

My read is that Universalists get a Wizard class feat at 1st level
Thank you. That clarifies this a bit.

The wording could be a bit clearer.
At every level you gain a wizard feat, you can select....
Means that at every level where the Wizard Advancement table (rable 3-21, page 136) indicates that you get a wizard feat, you can select on from the wizard feats listed on page 139 to 141.
It should not be interpreted to mean that a wizard gets a wizard feat every level.
But the last sentence under "Universalist Wizards" on page 138 says:
"You also gain an extra wizard class feat."
If you don't gain that feat at 1st level, when do you gain it?
As best I can tell, that extra class feat is part of the "Arcane School" class feature gained at 1st level.
As Davor mentioned above:
Wizards get a wizard class feat at 2nd, and 2 levels there after.
The only exception to this is the Universalist, who gains a bonus wizard class feat at 1st level.
My comment in the post above yours David, is about the confusion that Larsenex had over the wording at the start of the wizard class feat section of the rulebook.
So a human universalist wizard could start off with 2 wizard class feats at first level.
