[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6678522, member: 4937"] The quote is certainly not intended to give them both. I think the language is very plain. If you would otherwise get fewer feats than 1 every 4th level, then the half-elemental gets 1 feat every 4th level. Otherwise, if you would get feats more often than that, then you get the greater number of feats. I imagine that most of the time this clause has no real effect, as the number of cases where a creature gets fewer feats than 1 every 4 levels is pretty small. And I would imagine that the half-elemental template you are looking at is the one from the 3.0 Manual of the Planes, and as such feats were generally rarer in 3.0 than they are in 3.5. If you are using the 3.0 template with 3.5 rules, it's entirely possible that there are no situations where the rule applies and it is as you say pointless. [/QUOTE]
