Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hawken" data-source="post: 4451071" data-attributes="member: 23619">I'm all for more feats, myself, whether its one per even or odd level. Doesn't matter to me. Its the system now that is too deficient both in the amount of feats and the quality of feats. If Pathfinder is at least fixing the amount, then that takes care of half the work for DMs right there!Actually, I don't see how its getting generic, or the connection to 4e--which I do not like. But with the advent of 3e, damage output went through the roof while AC and HP did not and since then, power creep and inflation have only escalated things. How would you propose getting things "under control"? Yes, dwarf fighters are tough, as represented by their higher Constitution, not just because they are a dwarf or because they are a dwarf and a fighter. As for elves, there is nothing in 3e that makes an elf a better wizard than anyone else, yet it is their favored class? Why? Why is an elf a better wizard just because he/she is an elf? What is it about being an elf that makes them a better wizard than anyone else, especially when they have no racial abilities that make them a better wizard?If you have to keep the Favored Class concept around, why not have it give a tangible and immediate benefit? Saying they don't get an XP penalty if they do X or don't do Y, that's not a benefit. That's a warning. If you want more dwarves to be fighters, give them a reason to be fighters. Maybe an extra 2 skill points per level in Fighter. Tangible, immediate benefit. Useful. Not overpowered--and helps solve the issue of low skill points without really contributing to inflation. If dwarves have a easier time with being a fighter, it should show in them learning skills faster (more skill points), than a dwarf who might have a harder time at a different class (like wizard). But extra hit points? Just because a certain race takes a certain class? Why would a halfling rogue be able to take more damage than a human rogue just because he's a halfling and a rogue. Why would an elven wizard with the same level and Con (and rolled hit points) as a elven bard, take the same amount of damage from an attack and its more of a scratch for the wizard and a more serious blow to the bard?</blockquote>
