Ok, maybe not ultimate, but it sounded catchy
Here's a feat that I think would be a huge help for mid to high level fighters.
Old Dog, New Tricks [Fighter]
Prerequisites: Fighter 10th level (maybe higher? 12? 14?)
Your experience in combat allows you to pick up new techniques quickly.
Benefit:
Choose a fighter feat you qualify for and do not have, and which has no other feats as prerequisites. You gain that feat. Choose another fighter feat you qualify for and do not have, and which has the first feat you chose as a prerequisite. You gain that feat.
Special:
You may take this feat multiple times. Each time, choose two new feats.
-----------
The basic idea is to help with starting new feat chains in the late game, where it can really suck to take one of those feats you qualified for 10 levels ago. Hmm... for my 14th level fighter ability I choose.... dodge. Sweet.
Thoughts? I know its power is directly proportional to the number of feat chains you have in your campaign and how powerful those feat chains are.... but assuming we're just using core + complete books... maybe not so bad?
[edit] Notes - you can't use this feat to get another instance of this feat, because it specifically says it has to be a feat you don't have. Also, note that the second feat has to have the first feat as a requirement, but it doesn't have to be the only requirement.... so if you already have Dodge and Mobility, you could take this to get Combat Expertise and Whirlwind Attack.
