[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6289990, member: 1465"] The 5e feats are also "all over the map" if you mean that there is quite a wild range of balance among them... 5e characters get less of them however, compared to 3e, so the difference between a PC with all the weakest feats and a PC with all the best ones, might be less. Anyway the idea here is to re-use feats from 3e books, but it doesn't have to mean to allow a 5e player to freely pick [I]any [/I]3e feat! At the very least, a 3e feat needs to be checked that it doesn't go against bounded accuracy or is simply not applicable because it refers to rules that don't exist anymore or work differently. This is enough to guarantee that each 3e feat has to be checked by the DM before allowing a player to take it. For Rokugan, there will be no official conversion to 5e, so my only option if I want to play with 5e rules in that setting, is to make a conversion myself. I'm looking for ideas to minimize the effort :) Generic 3e feats are not probably needed, since there will be 5e feats covering similar generic ideas, but perhaps someone else wants to convert another setting or simply to re-use a favourite 3e sourcebook.
