07-17-07, 04:36 PM Is a character required to take a feat at the level it is gained or can the character wait until another level to choose a feat? A reason for doing so may be that the character would have the prerequisite for a feat he wanted a level later.

But I don't remember what they are. I think the main one was a Rogue PrC.

07-17-07, 05:30 PM Weapon Finesse is one that could be abused since it would allow characters to take it at level 2 opposed to waiting until level 3.

This would let them start qualifying for things earlier instead of it getting bumped back a few levels if they don't have the best BAB.
