School Savant 1 can choose Extra Arcanist Exploit?


Rules Questions

The Concordance

The Prerequisites of FEAT Extra Arcanist Exploit is Arcanist exploit class feature, while School Savant replace the arcanist exploits gained at 1st, 3rd, and 7th levels. So, can a School Savant 1 choose Extra Arcanist Exploit?

Only after he gets his first exploit.

Searching for a specific FAQ is often problematic as they grouped under a book heading, and it is not always obvious under what book it will be. I am sure there is a FAQ stating that you need the ability to take the "extra XX" feat, but I am unable to find it.


I'm not sure there's a FAQ for that, I think it might just be quotes from Paizo staff. I'm not sure why Julien linked the core rulebook FAQ, there's nothing obvious to me there.

You can’t take it until you get your first exploit at 5th level. It is in the CRB FAQ.

When do I count as having a class feature?

Quote:

You have a class feature when your class description tells you you gain that class feature, generally based on your level in that class (and perhaps altered by factors, see below).

If you have an archetype or other rules element that replaces that class feature, you do not have that class feature. For example, if your archetype replaces a rogue's sneak attack, you no longer have the sneak attack class feature (whether a requirement is as general as "sneak attack" or as specific as "sneak attack +1d6," you do not qualify for it).

If you have an archetype or other rules element that replaces part of a scaling class feature, or delays when you get that class feature, you do not have that class feature until you actually gain that class feature.
Example: If you have a fighter archetype that replaces weapon training 1 (but not weapon training 2, 3, and 4), you don't gain the weapon training 2 ability until fighter level 9, which means you don't have the weapon training class ability at all until you reach fighter level 9. Anything with "weapon training" or "weapon training class feature" as a prerequisite is unavailable to you until level 9.
Example: If you have a cleric archetype that replaces channel energy at level 1 (but not later increments of channel energy), you don't gain the channel energy ability until cleric level 3, which means you don't have the channel energy class feature until you reach cleric level 3. Anything with "channel energy" or "channel energy class feature" as a prerequisite is unavailable to you until level 3.
Example: If you have a witch archetype that replaces your hex at level 1 (but not later hexes, major hexes, or grand hexes), you don't gain your first hex ability until witch level 2, which means you don't have the hex class feature until you reach witch level 2. Anything with "hex" or "hex class feature" as a prerequisite is unavailable to you until level 2.

Thanks, I was searching for the wrong keyword.
