Paladin level 4 choice (+2 ability points OR a feat)?

[Michael Virtus]

I don't have the early access yet (I will buy the game on release since afaik the progression is not saved), but I've watched some videos... so...

At level 4 the Paladin can have +2 ability poiints OR a feat. Is it only there where we can have one or the other? Can I have +2 ability points there and later have a feat (specifically the awesome Great Weapon Master)?

Every 4 levels in a class you get an ASI or ability Score Increase (either +1 +1, or +2 to a stats up to 20 max) You can instead choose to not take an ASI and replace it with a feat instead.

Classes get these every 4 levels (except fighters who get bonus ASI's inbetween)

Note that these are based on Class levels and not character levels.

For instance

a Level 8 barb would have 2 ASI/feats (Player Level 8)
A level 4 barb and level 4 paladin would have 2ASI/feats (Player Level 8)
A level 3 barb level 3 paladin level 3 cleric would have no ASI/feats. (Player Level 9)

Thank you for the answer.
