Basically you get a point each level and can spend them on feats -- pretty simple.Some quick feedback:This seems too fiddly to me. I'd just let the PC bank feat points and spend them whenever (but only buy 1 feat per level).Why not 4? This seems like a HUGE nerf to variant human, which is a terrible racial choice except for the feat. This means that the only feats variant humans can start with are Charger, Dungeon Delver, Grappler and Weapon Master -- the crap feats. I don't think it's fun to have a race that starts weaker than the others and needs to "save up" to get its racial features.I'd start variant humans with 3 extra points, so they can buy a 4-point feat right at 1st level.I feel like most of the 6-point feats are the ones I feel are balanced with an ASI. (Plus maybe a couple of the ones on your Tier 3/4 columns, like Heavy Armor Master, Magic Initiate, and Tough.) So I'd price those at 4 points, and put the remainder of the Tier 3/4 feats at a cost of 3 points, and the crap feats remain at at 2 points. Except for Polearm Master, which I think should stay at 6 points. Then I'd decrease GWM, Lucky, and Sharpshooter down to 6 points too. Because those are really good feats but not worth two full ASIs. Costing 1.5 ASIs is enough of a downside I think. So my list would be:2 points: Charger, Dungeon Delver, Grappler and Weapon Master3 points: (most feats)4 points: ASI; Alert, Crossbow Expert, Elven Accuracy (XGE), Heavy Armor Mastery, Magic Initiate, Mobile, Prodigy (XGE), Resilient, Sentinel, Shield Master, Tough, and War Caster6 points:  Great Weapon Master, Lucky, Polearm Master, and SharpshooterA lot of this is subjective/anecdotal based on what I've seen at the table, rather than based on rigorous analysis or anything, but that's how I'd price them.</blockquote>
