For my 5E Proposal,
I'm toying with the idea of uniting all the best feats together and turning them all into powers that can be acquired just as wizards and clerics can acquire spells and prayers.
This is what I have so far but could use some help and suggestions.
I do have some design goals here. I want powers to be available according to how difficult they might be to learn in relation to each other.
For example, a fighter begins training and becomes comfortable with the weapon, learns how to feint, dodge a little, then after a long time can even disarm a weapon or use a fist or foot or an off-hand weapon as the Musketeers learned.
For spells and prayers I have the same idea, organize the spells according to what they do and guess to see which spells would be harder to learn than others...
