[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7362072, member: 6795602"] Of course. Let's say there are two car painting shops and you have 2000 dollars. To get a good bright sharp looking shade of red the first one charges you 1000 dollars. You can then use the other 1000 dollars to upgrade something else on your car. The other shop offers options. You can get a red paint job that isn't nearly as nice a color of red for 1000 dollars or you can get a really nice shade of red like the first shop offered for 2000. Customers of the second shop can get a red paint job and something else. Or they can get a really good red paint job and nothing else. Customers of the first shop can get a really good red paint job and something else. Customers of the second shop have more technical options. However, at the end of the day, customers of both shops are going to have a red car, its just how nice the paint job was and whatever else they decide to do with their remaining money. A few observations: Customers that want a high quality paint job get more options with shop 1 as they have leftover resources they can do other things with Customers that that go to shop 2 get more options with shop 2 but no comparable options to what getting the paint job at shop 1 allows In D&D terms. Modeling a very tough character requires less resources in a game without feats than it does in a game with feats. As such the player in the featless game has more remaining resources to spend on things. A game with feats provides more options up front but because it now takes more resources to create a very tough character then said tough character end up with less options and no comparable options to the very tough character in the featless game.
