[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 5841068, member: 32536"] I'd rather not see the "take feats to be more dwarfy or more fightery" approach. I think I've argued this in some of the other thread around here, but I guess it bears mentioning here too. Basically, I don't want the game to move in a classless/raceless direction where feat choice becomes a form of point-buy character creation. D&D is a game about picking race and class, and those two decisions should completely overwhelm feat choice. I'd rather not have racial or class-specific feats at all, and leave it so any character can pick any feat. There is also the point that, historically at least, feats are far too weak to allow for advanced options. You can't stuff "transform into a giant wolf and gain powerful bite and claw attacks" very easily into a feat system, which means a feat-focused approach will be unable to easily create a werewolf race. That means being stuck with watered-down feat-friendly races like the Shifter instead, and I'd much rather have a playable werewolf than Shifters. [/QUOTE]
