[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8681592, member: 22779"] Naw. Folks just get their panties in a twist if anything even remotely whiffs of the tiniest, faintest aroma of anyone having even the tiniest influence on how someone makes their perfect sculpture of their character. A curated list of non-combat oriented feats you can take at the end of 1st level is perfectly fine. (or combat feats if that floats you boat, whatever) These are BONUSES. No different than the boons you can give out as rewards or treasure or anything else. No one is forced to take them. And, frankly, if someone's vision of their character is so fragile that adding a bonus feat to it after chargen but before 4th level is going to totally spoil that character, I'd much rather not play with that player to be honest. Put it another way. A player that would bitch about a bonus feat given out as a surprise at the end of 1st level raises all sorts of red flags to me as both a player and a DM. I'm pretty sure that I would not enjoy sitting at the same table as that player. [/QUOTE]
