[QUOTE="Stumblewyk, post: 5298073, member: 67606"] Not if they can take what is effectively the same feat, with a different name, 10 levels before they qualify for it in the next tier. They've already effectively made that change, albeit via power creep, in many cases. The only difference, is that they're now admitting that fact. It boils down to: "Over time, our exceptions-based system has made Feat Restriction X redundant in many cases, so we're removing it. You can already take Paragon-level feats in the Heroic tier due to power creep, so why should we bother preventing you from taking Paragon Tier feats before level 11?" That's not equivalent to "We're eliminating level-based feat restrictions." Now...if you want to argue that the above means 4e has [i]*already*[/i] evolved into something approaching a 4.5e, that's something else entirely, and you might be on to something. (That's a lot of "somethings", I know. Sorry.) [/QUOTE]
