(as seen in the Human Paragon class) I see the info on this under the "Spells per Day" section in UA, so I understand how this benefits spellcasters. Does this ability do anything for a non-spellcaster? If Fighter is an existing class, could you gain a Fighter bonus feat? Could your sneak attack go up if the 'existing class' is Rogue? Please clarify this for me. Thanks.

However, if you increased from Wiz 4 to Wiz 4/Paragon 1, you do not get the extra wizard bonus feat, nor does your familiar improve. Likewise, this ability does not help a non-caster out, so no your fighter does not get his bonus feat nor does a rogue's sneak attack go up as an effect of taking the paragon level.
