[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3211897, member: 1656"] But it's not just the FAQ. The PHB on p87 says a character can gain a feat at the same level at which he or she gains the prerequisite. And it states that at 3rd level, Krusk can spend a skill point on Ride and take the Mounted Combat feat [i]at the same time[/i]. Not 'subsequently'; 'at the same time'. The skill point is not spent on Ride prior to gaining the feat; the two occur 'at the same time', under the description of feat prerequisites. So the text on feats suggests to me that if step 6 and step 7 occur at the same time, then so do step 7 and step 9; further, if someone takes a feat that makes a cross-class skill a class skill, for example, the skill points spent at the same level (spent 'at the same time') on that skill will be spent at class cost, not cross-class cost. Similarly, a Ftr1/Wiz4 who levels to Ft1/Wiz5 could use his Wizard Bonus Feat to take Craft Wand, and his 6th Character Level feat to take Reckless Wand Wielder (prerequisite: Craft Wand), because he can take the feat (Reckless Wand Wielder) at the same level at which he or she gains the prerequisite (Craft Wand). -Hyp.
