Yup if you are running just one PC it is lame to follow the rest of the party around in the dungeon all night waiting for that one moment when you can let loose and then go back to hiding in the corner I don't have a problem with that but a lot of people want their fighter to be a big deal for...

It's only one feat that you pick, it can be a general combat feat OR a feat in your chosen weapon style. It's pretty clear from what it says right at the start for Benefit: If they wanted you to get two it would have said you can select two bonus feats at 4th, 8th, 11th, and 14th. But yeah it...
