[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 3056882, member: 2011"] We have two known instances within over one hundred pages of feats and rules on feats in many books where feats are referred to as effects: the one he listed in some obscure book and a one line table blurb on page 141 of the PHB that I found yesterday. There could be a few more hidden somewhere. We have over a hundred pages of feats where they are referred to as benefits in the WotC books. Since the actual rules section of feats does not call them effects and it took a few days for anyone to find any references at all of them as effects, it appears that they are not generally considered effects. Just like everyone else, WotC game designers are human. And when they are writing, they are not always precise. Considering how obscure the two references we have are, it seems more likely that if the designers wanted to refer to feats as effects, they would have put it in at least once and probably several times in the feat section of the PHB, or within feat sections in most every other book in the game system. They did not. Hence, it appears that these two references are mostly white noise. Imprecise writing if you will. [/QUOTE]
