(See the fighter page on the Worlds of Adventure site for information on how the fighter class is modified from the Pathfinder version.)
Note on epic feats: Some of the fighter epic advancement options listed below grant feats for which the character would not normally qualify (usually due to not having a high enough class level or base attack bonus). When gaining the feat through an epic advancement option that grants it, the fighter ignores the feat's normal prerequisites; only the prerequisites listed for the epic advancement option apply. (As is usually the case for feats, if the fighter loses the prerequisites for the epic advancement option that granted a feat, he loses the use of that feat, until such time as he regains the prerequisite.)
Additionally, feats gained through these fighter-specific epic advancement options (unlike combat feats for which the fighter qualifies normally) may not be switched out on a daily basis; they are fixed when taken.
