[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 4945148, member: 1956"] Amongst those 3 ratings, Borogove's one seems to be the most reasonable. Still, the value of feats changes largely, depend on which supplements you will use, what kind of campaign you will play, in which level range you will play, etc. For example, with only core rules, Many Shot maybe not so useful. But if you are a Scout (CA), that will become a better choice than Rapid Shot. And if you combine it with Greater Many Shot feat (surprisingly, it is in Complete Psionics for some unknown reason), that feat tree is almost no-brainer. Also, there are feats which is useful for DM controlled creatures but not so for PCs. For example, Blind-Fight rarely helps a PC, as he must first ascertain the opponent's location anyway, and the party spellcasters tend to deal with invisible foes via spells. But giving it to monsters is a good thing for a DM. Many monsters either have Listen as their class skill. Or, having more hit dice than it's CR, can take reasonably high Listen modifier even if that is a cross class skill. And not all the critters can have magical supports like PC adventurers have. Amongst metamagic feats, I wonder why Heighten Spell is valued so low. It maybe not so useful for Clerics, Druids or WIzards. But it is a kind of must-have feat for Sorcerers. [/QUOTE]
