The advantage of classes is that they channel the decision making process. Race and class provide a broad character concept. Subclasses provide a narrower decision. Then you get more granular with spells, maneuvers, and gear.Feats are exactly the opposite of this. They're just a large list of abilities, which is more befitting a skill based system with is all about granular choice at all levels.That why, in a class based system, the concept of themes or specialties was so good. It was another broad choice that allowed for a wide variety of characters without resorting to granularity. In the first couple packets, they were basically mini-classes. I really liked this approach.</blockquote>
