How to gain another Feat Slot without a houserule?

JVitor

First Post
I'm working hard developing my Dragonborn/Warlord/Fighter/Kinsei/Avatar of Io and, after checking all my math, I think I'll need one more feat slot until level 30 to finish some combos...

Well, besides being ah human, is there any item or other mechanics/combinations in D&D 4e that would give me 19 feats instead os 18?? I was wondering about items, but never see "free feat slot" or something like this in nothing I read.

1) Retrain. Do you need all those specific feats?
2) Take your lumps. Feat limits exist for a reason.
3) Perhaps there are items that replicate some of those feats. (For instance, crystal orbs seem to boost psychic damage attacks, pretty similar to a PH1 feat.) If you don't need a feat as a pre-requisite, you could go item hunting.

It would be a lot easier to do an analysis if you post your feats and what combos you're looking to perform with them.

1) Well, I'm on 7th level, and I know I'll have some "retrain slots" saved for powers, so... And my current list of feats are reaching what I expect for the char, so I wouldn't want to change some options.

3) This is a good idea. My list below can help us to find something

I didn't organize the information very well, but this is my current plan:

01 - Weapon Proficiency: Bastard
02 - Nerathan's High Blade Student
04 - Nerathan's High Blade Captain
06 - Armored Warlord
08 - Heavy Blade Expertise
10 - Student of the Sword [Multiclass Fighter]
11 - Draconic Arrogance
12 - Skill power (Everybody Move - Intimidate Utility 6)
14 - Dragonborn Frenzy
16 - Dragonborn Zeal
18 - HARLEQUIN STYLE*** (retrain Wolfpack Tactics to Brash Assault)
20 -
21 - Bold Spirit
22 -
24 - Shift the Field
26 - Fight On
28 - Dragon Warrior
30 -

I didn't have time to read your post, but I felt I should point out then when you hit paragon tier, you can retrain paragon tier feats into heroic tier feat slots. So maybe there's a heroic tier feat you don't need anymore?
 


I know this is specifically what you didn't ask for, but I've found that many DMs are open to granting an expertise feat for free at level 5. If all the other players have an expertise feat, mention that the feat slot no longer really "customizes" characters, because everyone has to take them to make sure their character remains competitive. It's an acknowledged issue, even by WotC.
