Dance with no sound for a powerful effect doesn;t make sense to me. And deafening is only a 20% chance of failure, right? Not that overpowering at all (and it's pretty darn rare of occurance)I don't get how the Illusion (Pattern) thing is a benefit - way too obscure.So I don't see these as benefits of any consequence, much less overpowering benefits. Why would you guys be sweating giving a new (female) player a couple small flavor benfits?Costing a feat is HUGE. It's literally taking away one of her only player choices, if you're starting at 1st level.Is your group THAT slave to the rules that you'll decrease the new player's fun, just to satisfy some abstract "balance" dogma?</blockquote>
