[QUOTE="Zaran, post: 6316382, member: 56710"] I want a feat at level 1 because I feel like every Level 1 will be the same as every other one without it. Background wouldn't do enough to change that. For instance, if a wizard is really good at fire spells, I want to be able to show that at first level. Not at 3rd level when they can pick Evocation (and then they would still be only as good as any other Evoker). The same goes for fighters. If someone wants to be better at swords than their peers they shouldn't have to wait until 4th level before they can get a feat that helps demonstrate that. On Twitter, Mearls said that a feat can be taken at first level if the player gave up some of their racial bonus. That's because they feel like feats HAVE to be instead of stat increases. I've decided I would be ok with that. There are things I do not like though. Like how Fighters have access to more stat increases. Or that we are all stuck with very basic characters at first level. I do not want to start my campaigns at 3rd level just to have a little crunch in my character creation. [/QUOTE]
