Crusader Archetype Bonus Feat


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Hi,
as I'm thinking about aking the path of the crusader, I stumbeld across one "issue" with it.

Bonus Feat
A crusader gains a bonus feat at 1st level, then again at 5th level and every five levels thereafter (to a maximum of six at 20th level).

Correct me if I'm wrong but one feat at level 1, then 5,10,15,20 only summ up to 5 feats not 6 at level 20.
The question now is if it should be 6 at 20 or 1 + 1/5level.

Bonus feats are a bonus feat on top of your standard feats.

And that's related to my question how?

To make it clear:
The Description says 1 Bonus feat at level 1 and one every 5 level thereafter ("A crusader gains a bonus feat at 1st level, then again at 5th level and every five levels thereafter (to a maximum of six at 20th leve)").
Which are only 5!
The description also says "(to a maximum of six at 20th level)"

6 =/= 5

So where lies the error?
should it be
"to a maximum of five at 20th level."
or
"A crusader gains a bonus feat at 1st level, then again at 4th level and every four levels thereafter."
?

The Exchange

The error is in the total (as seems to have happened a lot in Ultimate Combat). Fortunately this particular error has enough context to figure out what the correct answer is. In addition to the "fifth level and then every 5 levels" text, witness the fact that the Crusader gets a new selection of bonus feats at level 10 (which would make no sense if it was supposed to be every 4 levels).
