I agree. I love the idea of getting the benefits of a background based on what happens in the game, like Folk Hero. But they are poor matches in power to existing feats, feat-availability and narrative timing can easily not line up. These shouldn't be feats, they should be some other sort of Boon that the DM can grant.No to feat chains; no to feats in backgrounds.
Both of these developments seem to miss the virtues I see in the mechanics of feats and backgrounds.
