Help w/trait to delay 1st level feat acquisition

[Jim.DiGriz]

I'm trying to create a trait that allows a character to delay taking his 1st level feat until he reaches 2nd level. This would allow 3/4 and 1/2 BAB classes to pick up feats requiring a +1 BAB, which I think is worth the cost of a trait for melee-oriented clerics and rogues (and which would be a bit cheesy to simply allow at no cost, IMO).

Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this? I realize I could just create a trait with the appropriate description and tell the player to live with the validation error until 2nd level but I'd rather make it fully functional if possible.

Put this in the Eval Script:

~First 1,000
~If we are level one in any class then remove first level feat.
~at level 2+ this script will do nothing and the normal feat will appear.
If (#totallevelcount[] = 1) then
   ~ Remove level 1 feat
   #resmax[resFeat] -= 1
endif

Set the phase to First priority 1,000

Thanks. It was inspired by this thread on the Paizo boards. I've offered it as an option to the players in a new campaign I'll be starting soon, but it remains to be seen if any of them will actually use it.
