[QUOTE="greg kaye, post: 9024838, member: 7030543"] It's certainly happened that GMs have started campaigns while allowing even starting characters to have a free initial feat. I'm postulating that it might be possible for a GM also to say that players could either start at x level or to have one of those progression levels swapped for n feats. The game is not balanced (some classes and subclasses, races and subraces, backgrounds etc. have more in-game strength than others) and yet it fits still fits together. I'm querying another potential (and optional) variable and don't see why it couldn't fit. As the game is unbalanced, with some builds (in of themselves) being able to progress more readily than other builds, perhaps builds that would not progress so readily might be buoyed by other options such as being able to trade levels for feats. I'd speculate that the game might even become more balanced if this option was made available. Multiclassing is modular. [/QUOTE]
