[QUOTE="Vael, post: 5717824, member: 57043"] All Swordmages use INT as their primary stat, so yes, Intelligent Blademaster should be a class feature, I don't agree that that's a balance bonus for Assault Swordmages. The Assault Swordmage, given it's strikery nature, should gain STR-mod damage to his melee basic when he uses his Aegis. And Ensnaring need something else, but not in terms of an Ensnaring Swordmage only feat. As for the Warlock ... feats that enhance Warlock's Curse are fine, just like Backstabber enhances Sneak attack, something all Rogues get. Feats that enhance your specific Pact boon, or feats that enhance your Warlord's Commanding Presence, or the Rogue's Rogue Tactics are bad. Spring Cleaning, to me, is reducing clutter and also improving organization. Right now, the Compendium lists 3123 feats. I like Class-specific feats, but I don't like Class and Build specific Feats, or Race+Class feats. I don't want feats for Eladrin Fighters. I want Eladrin Feats, and Fighter Feats. What I want is feats to go into big, clearly labeled bins. Here are "Expertise Feats", here are "Defense Boosting Feats", "Eladrin Feats", "Fighter Feats", etc. The problem right now with the builder is sorting through the obscene number of feats that are in the general sections. True, which is why pulling some feats right into the character progression will leave more space for flavour feats. [/QUOTE]
