Half-elf dodge bonus feat broken

[Kamuizin]

Description of Bug Experienced:
The dodge bonus of Half-elf is broken, with the following problems ocurring:
1 - At character creation you can pick it two times, which is a waste of feat.
2 - The dodge feat of half-elf isn't recognized as pre-requisite for other feats or classes, thus anything that depend of Dodge will be inaccessible. The following features are blocked for half-elvens at the moment:

[*]mobility
[*]spring attack
[*]whirlwind attack
[*]improved whirlwind attack
[*]dwarven defender
[*]shadowdancer
[*]weapon master


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Pick a Half-Elf class and try to pick anything that has Dodge at level up screen


Expected Result:
The following feats/classes be accessible:

[*]mobility
[*]spring attack
[*]whirlwind attack
[*]improved whirlwind attack
[*]dwarven defender
[*]shadowdancer
[*]weapon master


Actual Result:
The following feat/classes are inaccessible

[*]mobility
[*]spring attack
[*]whirlwind attack
[*]improved whirlwind attack
[*]dwarven defender
[*]shadowdancer
[*]weapon master

Update:

I tested this problem with 2 characters.

One is a Spellsword with the following attributes:

Str 10
Dex 14
Con 16
Int 20
Wis 9
Cha 8

This spellsword had no problem to select Dodge related class and feats.

Another character is a Swashbuckler with the following attributes:

Str 19
Dex 13
Con 10
Int 18
Wis 8
Cha 8

This Swashbuckler can't access mobility or any Dodge related class and feats.

I can't specify why those two circunstances are different. I hope this point help the solution of this issue.

[Deapri]

The dodge feat for half-elf will work as the requisite on the condition that you do not manually also take the dodge available in the feats list pre-level 3 at which point the half-elf dodge will convert to the regular dodge, I do not know why it was setup this way. If you manually choose dodge on a half-elf for whatever reason the system loses track of it and any dodge requiring progression does not work.

Mobility and other things requiring dodge may be still selected like normal at level 1 just do not touch the dodge feat itself.

The selectable dodge feat should be hidden from the user selection pane in my opinion to alleviate this issue.

[Deapri]

Swashbuckler is another issue, when levelling, it does not respect the half-elf dodge granting at any level even post exchange for the normal dodge feat, making mobility and the chain unavailable either way. This is the best confirmation I can give at this time, and hopefully sufficient information.

Kenji pointed out the swash issue was not taking sufficient levels as mobility is a granted feat.

True statement. This report can be closed.
