[QUOTE="Volkai, post: 5444542, member: 6668289"] Thanks! Hmm, I see. I suppose that works, though I'd probably like to have more options, such as splitting that +1/2 into two +1/4 bonuses (Say, for DEX and INT, or INT and CHA) or maybe a 'generalist attack bonus' feat that spreads things out... but maybe that's something outside of the scope of listed rules and more in the domain of house rules? However, you can remove that temptation to use an additional feat for other purposes by specifying the slot as a "Background-Only Feat" slot and categorizing these as Background Feats. It also allows for the possibility of non-class-specific first-level-only feats, which could represent a character's past as, say, a crafter, or coming from a different class background (for example, a Fighter who grew up part of a tribe of Barbarians but left while still in his youth might have Tribal Origin without any actual levels of Barbarian.) This would also allows something like Hybrid Classes as 4e depicts them, I think. Additionally, I feel I should clarify that what I see as redundant is not having the 1st-level bonus, but that you specify that it's only for first-level members of that class both at the beginning and end of the text block.
