I post on a few sites, but not too often. I keep very busy. Teaming up on this system sounds very tempting, however. Yesterday I thought about starting over from scratch in the "Scaling Feat Chain" as you called it (I'd just call it a Feat Chain myself), so I copied the entire WOTC FEAT list with summaries into MSWord and it was a wopping 56 pages or so (and this doesn't even include the actual feat descriptions!) Seems the last time I considered fleshing out the system, it had half that many feats - or less. It is a daunting task, Nyaricus, though one I feel that is worth the time. I'm just concerned that with being so busy (and going out of town for 2 weeks coming up) that my contributions would be slow in coming.Step 1: There are several things we have to ask ourselves (after tackling the "Do I really have time for this question," like do we include in our system just WOTC FEATS (I prefer this if only to reduce the number of feats) or open it up to all feats (some 3rd party sources have good feats, others are lacking or may be redundant) Also, could epic feats be worked into the system as the final rank (pre reqs still in place of course) as the 5th rank in each chain or kept separate as epic feats (I haven't really checked out the epic feats much, so they may be too much a jump). Just typing this whole thing in is very time consuming (yes, I know, it'd be a labor of love). Some of these fonts are on WOTC, but I did a sample search and it took almost as long as just copying them out of the book (at least for me). Another issue is how to handle when we have 3 or 4 feats that basically do the same thing or would also fit a particular chain theme (just dump them or turn them into 2 similar chains?). We would need to settle on a consistent naming schema and decide how to track renamed feats. Are we sure someone hasn't already done much of this legwork? This ought to be a netbook or something, but of course legally, you probably can't even post all of the feats ... so inclusion of feats based on OGL or whatever is another consideration.
