It's just that it's a path you don't want to take. Opening up this kind of feat and then you have people that want to distort everything to match their best abilities. I encountered this situation a coupple of times, and it sucks, but i trusted the game balance towards feats and I refused. One of my best RP players made a charisma based ranger(that he'd transfered from 3.5 where he played a low wis ranger without acess to spells thru some variants) now he was stuck with tons of cha and no wis where half of the ranger powers depend on wis modifier. He whined about the fact that he used his cha solely for RP purposes and asked for a feat that let him use his cha modifier instead of wis for ranger powers. It was legitimate, but I chose to refuse, and convinced him that his high charisma came with a price, and if he wanted to , he could change his abilities to get more wis since we were at the start of the game and still trying the new 4e system. Eventually he chose different paths going around the wis based powers and got happy and proud of his style. It's not ALL about the powergaming. You have the right to say yes, and you have to right to say no. He'll be happy anyways eventually, so think about yourself and your game.</blockquote>
