[QUOTE="elecgraystone, post: 5134084, member: 74232"] Good to see there are others that's take a non-expertise feat. :D I think that not forcing an expertise feat at 5th would let the player take thier expertise feat when they start feeling the 'math error'. While the expertise feat doesn't ruin diversity at 5th, allowing the slot to be free would encourage it as at least two of us would take more diverse feats and 'fix' the problem at a later date. Well the thing with the scaling if that everyone starts at a different point and it becomes an issue at different levels for different people. Some players might feel the sting right off the bat while others don't well into paragon. I'd much rather take it when I feel it's right for my character instead of setting a single point and saying that's the 'best' time for everyone to take it. Never said a +1 didn't change things. If you're seeing that a +1 WOULD make a difference more than a few times, you might be in the 'sweet spot' when it's time to pick up the feat. To trade examples, I can list off about 50 rolls where a +1 wouldn't have helped me in the least and about 2 that it would... SO it's going to be option 10? Sigh... Could have really used the extra non-expertise feat right now but at least I will not have to change my sheet. Maybe I'll try that new Versatile Expertise feat. :p [/QUOTE]
