We just started a new campaign and I'm trying to plan out my Champion Fighter. I'm wondering if it's possible to take more than two fighting styles (other than at lvls 1 and 7.)
I took GWF at lvl 1 as I'm using a warhammer, longsword, and halberd.
In later levels, I'm looking at DUELING (6,) DEFENSE (7, sub-class feature,) and SUPERIOR TECHNIQUE (16.) I'm also considering BLIND FIGHTING.
I guess I'm confused as I can take DUELING as an ASI FEAT in the character builder, but it has the Fighting Style Feat (Prerequisite: Fighting Style Feature) caveat.
Would/could I have to take FIGHTING INITIATE more than once to be able to take DUELING, SUPERIOR TECHNIQUE, and/or BLIND FIGHTING?
Or is it if you have the fighting style feature at any point, you can take additional styles? Or are you limited to only two styles.
If you have the Fighting Style feature, you can take a Fighting Style feat at any time that you can normally choose a feat. Since you have the Fighting Style feature, you meet the prerequisites for those feats.
That said, I think that most of the time it's probably not worth it, because the Fighting Style feats don't include any ability score increases and are generally considerably less impactful than other feats you can take at the typical ASI levels.
