[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3312669, member: 35788"] According to my reading of the actual words on p. 58 of UA, this is incorrect. A rogue who gives up his sneak attack in order to gain bonus feats receives them on levels 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, etc as the fighter does. I am getting this from the paragraph under Other Class Variants. There is no special notation on the rogue variant noted, thus the fighter bonus feats work just as they did for the fighter, including the levels at which they are gained. EDIT: This text also means that the rogue levels do not counte for Fighter specific feats (like Weapon Specialization). Because the class abilities work just like the original class. The original fighter class had to meet the prerequisites, and one of the prerequisites for Weapon Specialization is Fighter 4. A rogue (even one who gives up sneak attack) is still a rogue. Since the class feature works the same way for the variant as the original class, the variant rogue must also meet the prerequisites. Since they are not a "Fighter X" but rather a "Rogue Variant X," they do not qualify according to my reading of the variant rule. [/QUOTE]
