[QUOTE="Ltheb Silverfrond, post: 4509799, member: 39867"] The number and quality of feats depends on your sourcebooks; If you use some of that Savage Species and Drachonomicon stuff with epic creatures, things can get out of hand real fast. Heck, back when I was in 3E-stat-everything-mode I continuously found that there were just some feats you would be crazy not to have as a monsterous creature. It just became Feats 1-35, then the rest of the feats split between the "great-[attribute]" feats, Epic Potency and that epic feat that added 1 BaB. Naturally, the "feats" section of the higher-level stat blocks were a tangled mess. (and you can forget that alphabetical order stuff; no way) Limiting the feats to about 30 or so would save a lot of sanity. Alternately (as a DM) you can come up with the "fighter-suite" and the "caster-suite" of feats, and instead of assigning feats 30 times to 30 different monsters, come up with 2-4 general lists to suit your needs. Magic using Dragon? Caster-Suite. Melee monster? Give'em fighter powers. This also gets a little crazy when you run out of action adding feats or situational bonuses. [/QUOTE]
