Message: <blockquote data-quote="GX.Sigma" data-source="post: 5888077" data-attributes="member: 6690511">That's kind of what I'm saying. I'm not saying there won't be feats, but that a "feat" will be redefined as a "theme benefit," and will only exist as part of what a specific theme is. Some feats might be shared--Power Attack is Power Attack, but maybe more than one theme gets Power Attack. Basically what I'm seeing is something like this:...SlayerYou are a master of melee weapon combat. Whether sword or axe or mace, your mastery is all-reaching.Benefits:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Power Attack: Once per turn, you can take a -2 penalty to the attack roll of any melee attack to gain a +2 power bonus to the damage roll.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Combat Prowess: You gain a +1 feat bonus to combat maneuver attack rolls.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Improved Critical: Your critical threat range is doubled.</li> </ol>DefenderYou shield your allies by creating an un-ignorable threat to all who would strike your friends.Benefits:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Defender Aura: All adjacent enemies take a -2 morale penalty to attack rolls that don't include you as a target.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Improved Defenses: You gain a +1 feat bonus to AC, and you gain a +1 feat bonus to STR and CON saving throws.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Attack of Opportunity: Whenever an enemy leaves a space threatened by your Defender Aura, you may make a melee basic attack against that enemy as an instant interrupt.</li> </ol>WeaponmasterYou have chosen to specialize in one weapon.Benefits:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Weapon Mastery: You gain a +1 feat bonus to attacks made with a chosen simple, martial, or exotic weapon. You gain proficiency with that weapon if you don't already have it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Weapon Expertise: You gain a +2 feat bonus to combat maneuver rolls made with your Weapon Mastery weapon.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Weapon Focus: You gain a +1 feat bonus to damage rolls with your Weapon Mastery weapon.</li> </ol>Special: You may take this theme more than once. Each time, you may choose a different weapon.AvengerYour oaths bring divine wrath upon the enemies of your god.Benefits:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Oath of Enmity: As a free action, you can choose any enemy within 50 ft. When you make a melee attack against the target, you may roll twice and take the better result. You cannot choose another target until the target is defeated, or the end of the encounter.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Power Attack: Once per turn, you can take a -2 penalty to the attack roll of any melee attack to gain a +2 power bonus to the damage roll.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Radiant Vengeance: You gain a +2 divinity bonus to damage rolls against your Oath of Enmity target.</li> </ol> Cross-Theme FeatsWith your DM's permission, you may swap a feat from your chosen theme for a feat from another theme.Custom ThemeWith your DM's permission, you may create a custom theme by choosing three feats, which can be from any theme(s).</blockquote>
