[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7356790, member: 6919838"] Agree. I think the "problem" is that some feats provide very marginal specified benefits - some may coincide with partial ability bonuses or other benefits. In most of the examples above, the poster skipped the +1 abilities and mostly tangible other benefits like what was it multiple languages or advantage on pssing off as someone else. These are - except i think inspiring and skulker- the third and somewhat fluff feat parts. So, there is nothing stopping the GM from *in certain cases* allowing these to others but allowing it in more common circumstance for feat holders to show their specialized training. Like how anyone can try to hide when out of sight but wood elves can hide in light foliage and halflings when covered partially by medium sized folks. As for skulker not giving away his position one key limitation of hiding is that an attack reveals your position. It would be rare INO for the circumstance to void that but this feat is nice for that. Its vision and bonus though are good.
