[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 5501876, member: 205"] I liked feats in 3e, and hate them in 4e. I'd rather see a structure where at odd levels you gain or retrain powers, and at even levels you upgrade your powers. Since most of the feats in the game affect powers, why not have the effects of the feats as selectable options within the power descriptions? Hypothetically, you have a power upgrade tab in the CB, that's similar to the power selection tab. It shows you your current powers, your current skills, proficiencies, and a multiclass tab. You can pick then pick to upgrade one of your existing powers (with only upgrades from the relevant race, class, and tier showing). A power can only be upgraded once per tier. All available keywords should also be shown, with uprades also being available to keywords. (Say, an upgrade that adds push 1 to all weapon powers when used with a hammer, because you're a bad-dude dwarf. Now all weapon powers get that note attached to the power description.) The skill tab lets you train new skills or improve existing ones. The multiclass tab lets you select which class you want to multiclass with, or purchase access to additional powers. THe proficiency tab lets you purchase new weapon proficiencies or implement proficiencies. [/QUOTE]
