If the player puts enough thought into hir character to come up with a theme (woodland, cavalry, whatever) and explains what feats are in line in the coming levels, then later related feats only cost expansion cost. It wouldn't cost more to enter a theme than it would to buy feats on the fly, though. I think we're both saying the same thing.As for picking up 3d6 of Sneak Attack in a single level ... it's up to the GM. Personally, I think I'd differentiate PRE-requisites from CO-requisites. I'd be okay with a 5th level character buying +1d6 at 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th, but not so okay with a 5th level character buying 3d6 at once. But that's just me.As far as Commoners go, I have no trouble with them having d4 HD and only 2 SPs/lvl. But it's unlikely I'll ever sit down and create some, so it's moot!And I realize now that my math was off for saves (gasp!). A fighter doesn't get +18 FORT at 20th level, does he? He just gets +12. That and two +6s makes +24 total. So +2 at 1st, and +1 every level after (free), is about right.As for Rage, et al, I don't know. I would more likely tie things which are presently class-related themes, to other theme-related feats. You're a barbarian from a primitive war-culture? Sure, you can get Rage and Fast Movement if you buy them together, and plan on getting on the Uncanny Dodge and DR paths later, and of course the Rage expansions. You're a Half-Orc shock trooper? Sure, you can get Rage and Unarmed Combat if you buy them together, and plan on Rage and UC expansions. That kind of thing. If the idea sounds sound, allow it. If it's pure munchkinism, don't.I don't think anyone who realizes they can buy +1 to reflex save for one point will buy any kind of Trap Sense as a feat.</blockquote>
