[QUOTE="Twowolves, post: 4903912, member: 18093"] No skills got "less potent", they almost all across the board got better. They certainly didn't get worse. Every class has access to 1 more skill point per level (favored class bonus). Fly skill isn't a skill tax, unless you can, you know, fly. Resource management has always been a part of the game. In 3.x, the barbarian had to keep count of how many rages he got per day, and how many rounds were left in each rage. Now instead of ticking off uses/day, he ticks off rounds/day. Almost in every case, this leads to MORE uses of rage, not less (no activating a rage for a fight that is suddenly and unexpectedly over in 2 rounds). You may not like that Bards now have a limited number of rounds/day of singing, but that is not related to the "15 minute workday". "Bloated" feat trees were a way to increase the power of the fighter. Fighters get more feats and needed a higher level power boost. What you derisively call "bloated" is actuall a fix to another area of complaint. And really, the way people bought of 3.x splatbooks for more and more feat choices, I really have a hard time seeing how more feats in the core rulebook is something for people to complain about, unless they are just looking for something to bitch about.
