[SS] Question on feat gain...

[RigaMortus]

So I'm looking at the Astral Deva... It says they get a feat at levels 1, 3, 7, 13 and 19. It doesn't state that these are bonus feats. So are these feats in addition to or in place of the normal feats one gets every 3 character levels?

Ya know, now looking at it closer, they seem to get these feats at every 3rd hit die they obtain. So I guess I answered my own question, but can someone confirm this for me?

That's how it works in the Monster Manual - every 3 HD you get a feat. The level progression from SS is supposed to duplicate the monster in the MM when you are done with it.
