If this has already been asked I'am sorry, just couldn't find the thread.

I have Dodge. So if a class gives a character the Mobility feat as a extraordinary ability, does the ability help my character qualify for the Spring Attack feat?

Does it give something called Mobility or something which does the same thing under a different name? Unless it specifically says it will let you qualify for feats as though it were Mobility or it is actually named Mobility, it won't qualify you. It's the name that counts.

I would be taking a 2nd level in the Reaping Mauler PrC and it says: When wearing light or no armour, a RM gains the benefits of the Mobilty feat, even id he doesn't meet the requirements.

So would I be able to pick up the spring attack feat as my next feat?

Yes, but you could not use either feat if you slapped on medium or heavy armor because you loose the Mobility, hence lose the pre-req for Spring Attack & so can't use it.

It's like any feat that had a pre-req but yeah if it says you get the feat you get the feat. It just has an added pre-req for it. Just lay off the Field Plate :-P

Thanks and don't worry, my character doesn't wear armour to start with.
