I want to know how many ways there are to get the absolute maximum number of feats possible within 12 levels.
Rules: The feat granted must be able to be freely allocated to any feat, or within such a large group, or of such high value, as to make the restriction meaningless. So Fighter feats aren't counted, but the Human bonus feat is. Metamagic might be as well for spell caster builds.
Level limit: 12
Race available: all...and yes, we all know about the Humans. There've got to be other (sub)races out there that get feats!
Spells available: none. I haven't met a DM who saw a spell that gave feats as anything they'd let in their game. ....But I guess you can mention those Dark Chaos Shuffles and what have you.
Content available: 3.5 content preferred. 3.0, Dragon Magazine, Web Enhancement, and PF content accepted (but should be marked as such).
Also, please state the source so I can easily reference it in the table.
I'll put results of the feats with the above prerequisites here in the following table
Method
Feat(s) Gained
Reference
Human (Race)
Any feat
Player's Handbook (3.5, PF, 3.0)
Level
(1, 3, 6, 9, 12)
Any feat
Player's Handbook (3.5, 3.0)
Flaws
Any feat per flaw
??

Any feat

Sharn: City of Towers
Chameleon (The Prestige Class)
(Level 2)
Any feat, swappable every day
Races of Destiny, page 11

And ways to gain feats that somewhat fit the prerequisites above, or those that are merely not preferred, like spells, in this table because that seems useful.
