[QUOTE="Hatmatter, post: 9491310, member: 75077"] Hi everyone, I am really enjoying the 2024 [I]Player's Handbook[/I]. I am creating a NPC using character creation rules and I just realized I should probably ask for clarification with regard to Fighting Style Feats. Am I correct in understanding that: [LIST] [*]The only classes that can take a Fighting Style Feat are Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers? [*]Because "Fighting Initiate" is not included in the PHB, unless a table explicitly permits the inclusion of "Fighting Initiate" from [I]Tasha's[/I] (which, if Remathilis is correct [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-death-of-dip-feats.707248/']here[/URL], is a range of options that D&D designers are moving away from--something that I am fine with, especially with the introduction of Weapon Masteries), then only characters who are at least 1st-level in fighter or 2nd-level in either Paladin or Ranger, will ever be able to take a Fighting Style Feat? This supposition is based on my reading of how "prerequisite" is defined on page 199 and the prerequisite of "Fighting Style Feature" on pages 209-210 under each individual Fighting Style Feat. [*]However, Fighters (only) can [I]switch[/I] Fighting Style Feat every time they advance in level? [*]Champions receive an additional Fighting Style Feat at 7th level?
