[QUOTE="Ohillion, post: 6662698, member: 6798304"] It's my opinion that you can houserule anything in the book. However, once you houserule it, you have to be prepared to use it on either side of the DM screen. That goes to the players and the DM. I voted in favor of "The problem isn't that bad; use the feats as-is" because: 1) Changing a rule may have a domino effect and you end up rewriting more rules to fix the 'broken' rule. 2) WotC may end up rewriting the rule in an errata and you'll have to revisit it anyways. 3) Players will always find way to make another feat/rule work in their favor. This means you've only lowered the abuse cap and will have to figure out yet another loophole to close elsewhere. Go back to 1) and wash, rinse, repeat. I'm not saying the RAW are perfect. On the contrary, they are flawed because of the wiles of human nature. What works for one or some may not work for others. it's your responsibility of the DM to be creative with how you implement the rules. I love these forums. I've recieved a good amount of advice and i've only joined in a few days ago. I hope you sort out your feat dilemma and can bring lots of enjoyment to the story and the game. [/QUOTE]
