Artoomis said:(2) It only says "often" in any case.
Note how "creature" and "monster" are clearly differentiated from a "character" in this context.
Hypersmurf...Monster is differentiated from character. "Creature" and "Character" are interchangeable in the rules - the glossary states that "every character is a creature". -Hyp.[/QUOTE said:Maybe so, but do not disregard context. In this context it is clear that they used "monster" and "creature" interchangeably but distinguished those terms from "character."
As for "often," you are correct, and this does indeed establish the exception to the general rule - but only in the context where "creatures" is used to mean "monsters, or, more specifically, creatures with "one or more bonus feats, marked with a superscript B (B)," which only applies to monsters - PCs do not have "one or more bonus feats, marked with a superscript B (B)."
Unfortunately, the term "creature" does not always apply to PCs, glossary not withstanding. One needs to look to context as well to be certain.
