[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 5350295, member: 9789"] If anyone is worried about "power creep" then I would submit our current rule (get a feat for free) is worse than the proposal; the newest batch of expertise feats really are that good. I still think the "ugh, I don't want to have to do this again" argument - while perfectly valid and frankly understandable - is nonetheless not a good point considering WotC keeps drastically changing the rules on us. That's the way they're handling it, folks: we have to keep reacting or else our rules to fix their rules will fall behind (like they did before). Until WotC settles down, we will continue to have this discussion. There is no reason to believe that regardless of the decision we make here, we will not have this same thread again in 6 months. Until WotC fixes the system instead of applying patches, it will remain broken. As for waiting another month for more books to come out, I think it's more annoying to make people make decisions now and then change them in a month. I'd rather just make the decision now. It's also an argument that can be applied indefinitely; there will [I]always[/I] be another book coming out in just another month that will have changes. On the other hand, who are we kidding: it's going to take us a month to figure this all out anyway, right? :) [/QUOTE]
