There are just too many possibilities among the classes. You'd be amazed at how many Druids I've seen(and played) that don't focus on Wild Shape enough to have any use for that.Archer isn't even a Core Class! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> But obviously, Point Blank Shot is pretty much a needed feat for an archerInteresting choice, though I doubt many people actually would take this as a Fighter. Its a great thing to boost that low Will save, but there are 'better' choices for Fighters out there.If there's enough time to stop and craft something in the campaign, sure. Most campaigns I've been involved in, people just plain don't want to take the time. Spell Penetration seems like it would be much more useful.I don't think this is possible anymore. I seem to remember that Energy Sub in CA doesn't allow Sonic now...Not all Clerics have to be healers and shouldn't be forced into that role either. Clerics have about as many insane amount of options to go as Fighters do, and its just as hard to pick an 'essential' feat for them.Now that's a Good one[/pun]...if the characters are Good and Exalted stuff is allowed in the game. But then again, why not something to get more uses out of Bard Songs?Barbarians usually do insane damage WITHOUT Power Attack...though of course, adding to that is always nice. Paladins getting two is no fair. They're already stuck with MAD, now they have two essential feats?! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />If there's one feat out that that MIGHT have use for every single class/build out there...it'd be Dodge. But even then, its not essential.</blockquote>
