[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 2801602, member: 31216"] How about a similar rule for exchanging feats and skill points during a character's career? For instance, I'm playing a paladin that I originally created as a diplomat, with Skill Focus (Diplomacy) and Negotiator feats (taken at 1st level). But through play in the campaign, this concept has really not worked out as I intended/planned/expected. As it turns out, my character would really be better served with some different feats. My PC is now 5th level, and I've really not used Diplomacy much since early 2nd level. What if there was a general rule for feat selections and skill points like the one for sorcerer spells exchange? Say, every X levels, a character can swap out a feat chosen at X-y level for another feat that could have been taken at that level. (That is, you can't swap out a feat you chose at 1st level for Whirlwind Attack.) I've heard of games where the campaign had occassional "free retro-fit" chances -- where the Players could freely retro-fit their characters, picking up feats and/or classes that they would have taken earlier, but the feat/class was not available (published) at that time. "Oh man, I wish I had known about this prestige class when I was 6th level. This so totally fits my character." My questions, here: Have you ever participated in a "free retro-fit" chance? And what do you think of the concept of exchanging "old" feats/skills like a sorcerer exchanges lower-level spells? Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
