It's kind of one of those "big changes" with minimal effects.From what I read they're organizing them better to make them easier to find, and removing a restriction.So net effect on your already built character will be..  well nothing.Sure you COULD have taken that feat earlier if the rules had been in effect, and maybe it will no longer be the best optimization the rules allowed, but nothing is invalidated about it.It would be a bigger change if they went the opposite way and added more restrictions to feats. Then Characters would need to be rebuilt in order to even be "legal" for play.The same is true I say for the change in monster damage/hps and such. Nothing is invalidated about the old monsters. They're still as effective as they ever were.  You might never use them because you have better options now- but there wasn't a change to the rules that made the monsters suddenly drop in effectiveness... They just weren't as effective as they could have been to begin with.Same thing for the racial bonuses to stats. It's not a change that invalidates your previous character- it just adds options for future character builds. In addition there are only a small number of rules that I would consider consisting of the "edition." These are the rules that everyone uses no matter what their class or build, or if they're a player or DM.So while true the feat change falls into this territory- since it's not a change that forces you to rebuild to stay legal, I'd say it just constitutes additional options, and not a new edition.</blockquote>
