Message: <blockquote data-quote="IndyPendant" data-source="post: 887088" data-attributes="member: 8738">This is an idea I've been tossing around in my mind for a little while, which is an offshoot of 2 or 3 posts I have seen here.  I have a Feats file that is approaching a 3-digit listing of Feats, and I was thinking: how unbalancing would it be to accelerate slightly Feat progression?  This was my idea:1)  Every char gets a bonus feat at 1st and at 2nd level, in addition to any and all other feats they get.  However, this feat can only be chosen among a list designated as 'Flavour' feats.  I will go through all the feats and designate certain ones as 'flavour'; these feats would be things like skill bonuses, movement and sense enhancements, and so on (i.e. Run, Alertness, Track, and Endurance to name a few from the PHB.)  Specifically, these feats can *not* be used to select *any* combat-related, metamagic, or item creation feats.2)  From 3rd level on, every char gets a Feat every odd level.  This *replaces* the regular feats the char gets every third level, and can be 'spent' without restrictions--providing they meet all other requirements, of course.Fighters still get their bonus fighter feats, wizards their metamagic/item creation, humans their 1st-level bonus, etc etc.  What this results in by 20th level is 2 bonus 'flavour' feats and 3 bonus regular feats over what they usually get--which is hardly unbalancing, I think.  It has the additional benefit that, of course, monsters and NPCs would get the same benefit--allowing me to add feats from my feats file to them, instead of swapping them when I feel a house-ruled feat would be better.But what do you think?  Would this be too powerful?  Or do you like the idea?  And, most importantly--why?</blockquote>
