[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6643967, member: 2011"] It's interesting that you say this. I remember the first day I started reading the 3E PHB. While other players at my table saw feats and were saying "cool!" :cool:. I saw the feats and my first thought was "Holy crap. They are opening up Pandora's box here. This will become a nightmare.". :erm: I was actually pleasantly surprised with 5E's ability to cut back on the number of feats, but I was not too shocked that there were still a few practically must have feats in there (or alternatively, feats themselves are must haves for many players). Once the feat concept was introduced, it's really hard to wean off of it. My players took 7 feats out of 9 opportunities (and 1 of those 2 ability boosts was done in order to replace a Headband of Intellect with a different attunement item, so normally it would have been 8 out of 9).
