Class Training feats and obsolescence

[Khuxan]

An interesting thought about the class training feats. I wonder if it will be possible to obtain class features with these feats: First Strike, Rogue Tactics, Rogue Weapon Talent or even Sneak Attack, for example. If so, that might explain why Sneak Attack is only usable with a limited set of weapons. It might also open up the possibility for a rogue to take class training for Rogue Tactics to gain both Artful Dodger and Brutal Scoundrel benefits.

I hope you're right. I think that's a great direction to take the game in - more options, but not the overwhelming options of a classless system.

Each class has a corresponding set of feats that allows other characters to pick up class abilities, skill training and even powers from another class. Have that idea for the martial wizard? Take the Fighter Training feats.

That makes sense. One Feat is "Rogue Powers: You may select rogue powers in place of your class's." Another is "Rogue Ability: You gain either Rogue Weapon Training or First Strike as a class ability." (Although this one would probably take some more work to balance.) And finally, good old Skill Training.
