Sean Reynolds did an article on Feat Points to try and balance out Feats. You can read it here:

One thing I don't want is to go to GURPS style accounting. I'd rather just make the feats equal.

Flynn,

Just for example here's a screen capture of part of the Wiki. At the moment there's very little content beyond the OGL and a bunch of headers.

I forgot about SKR's feat points thing for a while, but I do remember reading it before. Must've subconsciously thought of it earlier.

And yeah, I don't want to make D&D point-based either (I even avoid point-buy ability scores whenever possible), but the alternative for feat balance is generally more time-consuming.

That's what I've been doing in my Aurelia houserules anyway, examining every little thing and tweaking it to better fit my understanding of balance (which has improved over time, so I've had to revise my own work a few times), aside from the few things I've been changing just to make them more interesting (like Aurelian goblins and kobolds). I'm not quite finished tweaking feats for Aurelia yet, but I've got a dozen or so in my Aurelia houserules/setting thread so far, and a bunch more I haven't posted yet or just haven't tweaked yet.
