Seriously, what do you all have against feats?!

Meh, they're overrated. They're responsible for nearly every "broken character build" out there on the 'net, too, right alongside Multiclassing (which I would be downvoting if Feats weren't somehow getting a half-dozen upvotes in a row in some coordinated strike every morning.)

Seriously though, I was gonna ask why everyone loved them so much, compared to the other options.

So you're saying that they're fun.

I love them, because they are fun. The other option is increasing a stat or two.

Eh, if you say so. I've lost count of the number of times a feat has upset the balance of my game.

All of these remaining options are pretty good, though. I use all of these in my home game (except Massive Damage, but it wouldn't take much persuasion to get me to include it.) But I have to downvote something in order to keep playing, and Feats is the only option that I've ever regretted allowing.

That can pretty easily be adjusted for. I prefer to let the players have their fun.

Yeah. These are all good rules.

...you know that's a false equivalence, right? You don't need to allow feats for your players to have fun (that's why they're optional.)
