[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5381165, member: 2011"] There is nothing stopping them from taking the Essentials Expertise feats. Your argument boils down to "Because the Essential Expertise feats exist, players are entitled to take them. Not only are they entitled to take them, but they are entitled to the extra bennies those feats give over the normal LEB Expertise rule.". What's not fair is that WotC didn't analyze the math of their game system before putting it out on the market. What's not fair is that WotC is doing the "bigger, better, badder" expertise feats in Essentials because everyone complained that it was a feat tax in normal 4E. If players get Expertise for free at LEB, they are already gaining more than someone who played strictly by the rules. If they want the cool bells and whistles of the Essentials Expertise feats, that's great. Take the feat. At level 4, they'll even get a +1 to hit. Your suggestion sounds like just another way to make PCs even more versatile and/or powerful than they already are. [/QUOTE]
