PF1E - Blacksmith (Fighter)

# PF 1e - Blacksmith (Fighter)

Blacksmiths live and die by the belief that the quality of their weapons and armor is just as important as the quality of their training.

### Bonus Feats

In addition to combat feats, a blacksmith can choose [Master Craftsman](http://aonprd.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Master%20Craftsman), [Skill Focus](http://aonprd.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Skill%20Focus), or any [item creation feat](http://aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?Category=Item%20Creation) as bonus feats.

This ability alters bonus feats.

### Forge Mastery (Ex)

At 2nd level, a blacksmith gains a competence bonus equal to half his class level on all Craft checks to make metal items and on all Profession (blacksmith) checks.

This ability replaces bravery.

### Smithing Talents

At 3rd level and every 2 levels after, up through 17th level, a blacksmith can select a smithing talent in place of weapon training or armor training. A blacksmith cannot select an individual talent more than once.

This ability optionally replaces weapon training and armor training.
