[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 1256927, member: 3424"] I agree with Gez. A Featmaster prestige class or meta-class should grant feats and nothing else. So, d4 hit dice, poor BAB progression (as wizard), all saves poor, no class skills and 2+Int skill points per level. However, just piling on bonus feats sounds rather boring for a class that should be a true feat master. How about the following ability progression: 1. Bonus Feat 2. Bonus Feat, Prerequisite Bonus +2 3. Bonus Feat, Swap Feat. 4. Bonus Feat, Prerequisite Bonus +4 5. Floating Feat Bonus Feat is self-explanatory. Prerequisite Bonus: At 2nd level, the Feat Master's ability scores are considered 2 points higher for the purpose of meeting feat prerequisites only. For example, a 2nd-level Feat Master with a Dexterity of 11 may take the Dodge feat, which requires a minimum Dexterity of 13. This does not affect any other ability score dependent aspects of feats, e.g. the number of additional attacks of opportunity gained from Combat Reflexes would not change. At 4th level, the Feat Master's ability scores are considered 4 points higher for the purpose of meeting feat prerequisites. Swap Feat: At any time that the Feat Master gains a new feat, including bonus feats from a class or prestige class, he may choose to lose one feat that he knows to gain another feat that he meets the prerequisites for. All the usual penalties for losing access to a feat apply, e.g. he may not be able to use other feats or prestige class abilities, if the feat lost was a prerequisite for the feat or prestige class. Floating Feat: The Feat Master gains a "floating" feat slot that he can reassign once per day to any feat that he meets the prerequisites for. The Feat Master may only re-assign the feat slot when his mind is fresh, i.e. he must rest for the same amount of time that an arcane spellcaster needs to rest to replenish his spells. If he does not have sufficient rest, he is unable to re-assign the floating feat slot, but he does not lose access to the feat that he previously filled it with. If a Feat Master is a spellcaster, he may re-assign the feat slot prior to preparing spells. [/QUOTE]
