[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2716353, member: 35678"] NexusX, i say [b]let's do it!![/b] I see no problem with us at least starting this boulder rolling. In the future, we may even see more help coming in from other people, or submissions from others who have started/finsished something similar. Yes, it would be a labour of love, but what's wrong with that? Nothing. I'd love to be working with people who are just as passionate on a subject as i am - thats why i love EN World in general. You get great, critical, feedback here. My players/friends are simply not 'nerdy' enough to try anything like this. So, in short, I'd love working with you on this. Balance issues will come with each step, but that's natural. On to your other questions. Lets stick with WOTC feats only; at least for version 1.0 (yes, i am already assisgning versions). If there is a feat that will fill a niche perfectly, and it is 3rd Party, then i see no problem adding it in. But, for starters, WOTC feats only. Perhaps the first thing to do would be to post the full list of feats up, so we can keep track of them. When the WOTC feats summary page is updated, we will have to update our page with it, to keep it concise. I am not saying that WOTC will be perfect in their feats included, but i think they have most of the core concepts covered, so there shouldn't be much of a problem in tracking if we have all the bases covered for feat concepts. I LOVE this idea, i simply adore it!!! It is a done deal, my friend. Perhaps 'Epic xxx MAstery' will do for terms . . . speaking of which: For the concept in its whole, 'Scaling Feat Chain' is a name i like because it differenticates itself from the standard idea of 'feat chains.' This is different, and so it should be named differently. For feats in specific, I like my suggestion in the first entry simply because it allows feats to be "standardized for once (in both function, pre-reques and naming)," as I put it. I simply expanded on what WotC has put forth in a few different examples (mainly with Two-weapon fighting feat chain, and others as well). So, i say we make this system look like this: 1. [feat name] 2. Improved [feat name] 3. Greater [feat name] 4. [feat name] Mastery [b]5.[/b] Epic [feat name] Mastery now, if you understood what i was getting at, there would be [b]three types of feats/feat chains[/b] under this system, if i am not mistaken. 1. Some feats would have feat chains going through to the Epic [feat name] Mastery rank. 2. Some feats would allow you to improve upon another ability/feat you already have.

Some feats are stand-alone, like Maximize Spell, etc. These wouldn't have any further progression. -if there are any more 'feat concepts, let me know- we will post a list of WOTC's feats, and in [brackets] tick off when we are done with a feat, and give any further info for it (ie, if it is in a feat chain now, not availiable any more, give the new name for it, etc etc). no idfea > that's why we are here, aren't we??
