The 4th level of minotaur is the 3rd HD, so you get a feat... the 8th level is your 6th HD, so you get a feat. When you get enough class levels that you have 9 HD, you'll get another feat.
THATS IT!
Thats the explination I can understand. So PC's are awarded feats because they've reached 1HD, 3HD, 6HD, ect... not directly because they reached 1st lvl, 3rd lvl, 6th lvl, ect... It just happens to coinside that when you take a standard PC class that you gain 1HD per level... And that's not always the case when you take a Monster Class. I had not noticed that 'till It was explained as such.
Thank you!
Nitpicking on semantics here, Basic PC class progression lists don't insert 'feat' into their 'special' column; it's a given that when you reach 3rd lvl/3HD you get a feat. Why, then, do they put 'Feat' in the special column in the Monster class progression for acheiving 3HD?
Looking at it now, it's kinda like "Duh, ya I'm aware I get a feat at 3rd lvl/3hd. You don't have to tell me..."
Like I said... just semantics and no use quibbling... I understand you dont get PC feats for HD and level along side of listed monster feats. No ones perfect, perhaps they put 'feat' in the monster class list just to remind you that that's the level it comes at, in case you forgot or didnt realize (like I had) that PC feats are rewarded for HD and not level.
EDIT: I just found the difference in the 'feat' listed in the special column of the monster class and the 'feat' listed for fighters in the fighter's special column. Fighters get 'BONUS FEAT'... not just 'feat'.
IT'S ALL SO CLEAR TO ME NOW! MUAHAHAHAHAHA
I fear the proccess in comming to this understanding may have driven me MAD!
