[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 3630352, member: 2020"] [b]A Question[/b] Ok, you saw my scenario above. A 10th level character with 51 feats. And I'm guessing half of you fainted with horror (or rolled your eyes at yet another silly post of a certain poster ...) But why not 51 feats? There are thousands of feats, and over one thousand official or semi-official feats. Why not grant a 10th level PC a chance at 3% to 5% of these feats? Remember that many feats are almost like penalties you must accept in order to progress in the feat path. Dodge is one of these feats. Point Blank Shot is another. Other feats require BAB higher than +1, and cannot be obtained at all at early levels. Why not let the players induge themselves in all those books they bought? At the standard rate of feat progression, they'll never have that chance. EDIT: It goes without saying that if a player takes advantage of 51 feats to take Power Attack, then Power Attack x 2 (metaphorical ... a feat that stacks with Power Attack somehow), then Power Attack x 3 ... all the way up through Power Attack x 51, he is going to have a tough character, but extremely vulnerable except along his feat path. If the player creates multiple characters with Power Attack 1 through Power Attack x 51, he's missing out on the game. He's messing himself out of the wonder and splendor of most of the game.
