Melee Combat Expert? Help please.

[flexi]

Hi,

I hope someone can help clarify something for me.

The specialities of shield-bearer and fighter have Melee Combat Expert.
 The description for it says that a character is "considered to have 2 additional Melee Combat feats for any ability based on the number of Melee Combat feats you can have".

I don't get this at all.  ???Can someone explain it to me please.

Look at the Parry advanced action .

Ah, so it is described as a kinda of modifier in certain circumstances, to be used for feats like Fencing and Hammer Mastery as well?

Yes, any instance of "equal to the number of Melee Combat Feats you have" is modified by Melee Combat Expert.

Thanks for clarifying this chaps!
At the start I was mulling over whether it meant for another two melee combat feats to be granted to a character. Eeeek!

Once again I am impressed by the fast replies and the helpfulness of the people on the FC forum!
Happy Halloween!

And one of the Polearm feats, as well, has a stance that keys to Melee Feats.
