[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 4942263, member: 16285"] The problem with such a generic rating system is that is very campaign specific. If you are in a game that emphasizes city encounters - any mounted feat (or ranged attacks ones for that matter) are pretty much towards the useless side. If you are in a game that emphasizes skill use (I am currenlty in one) - the combat feats are likewise leaning towards the useless side while the skill based ones are much more significant. If yu are in a game that hase low magic or has magic use being limited by political concerns - then all magic feats (except for those that aid in disguising magic use) are leaning towards the useless side. Too many situational considerations to come up with an absolute scale. Even feats that are in general pretty useless can be very, very usefull given the right type of game. For example endurance is in general a pretty poor feat since the skills it gives benefits to are very situational. But in the right game. . . Also in 3.5 they added a benefit that you won't suffer fatigue while sleeping in medium armor. In a game where your group is frequently ambushed at night - this feat becomes tremendously useful.
