It's that category of feats that I think he's really talking about. It's certainly the category of feats I like least - luckily for me they're mostly in the Unearthed Arcanas.I agree that the concept of feats doesn't need to be thrown away. I just want more like Magic Initiate and Martial Adept . . . and Inspiring Leader, and pretty much nothing from the Skill Feats UA.I might be repeating myself here: I really don't like basically expanded upon or auto-succeed skill checks. They are the core "problem" to me because I feel like they constrain my ability as DM to rule as I see fit on whatever action the players choose - if a feat grants autosuccess or has a DC, I'm kinda forced into a choice bewteen two options:1) make a player without the feat roll a check even if I think it should just succeed (or set the DC higher than the feat, even if I don't think it should be); or2) invalidate the feat.In the past, in 3e, I've chosen #1 too many times for my liking. I'm choosin #2 from now on (ideally, telling the players never to take those feats first!)</blockquote>
