In these cases, it gives a more powerful ability and replaces it2    Heroic feats are crunch heavy and are based more on everyday use rather then an action movie feel3    Heroic racial feats don't seem to build on each other, but can be the base for a paragon or elite feat4    If it has a minimum attribute requirement, it is usually a 135    If any bonuses are given it usually is only the first step..at best a minor bonus of +1 always, +2 in common situations, or +3 in specialized situations6    If a bonus is based on a specific energy, it's +2 for one, or +1 for two.7    Feats may give proficiency in racial type weapons and a +2 to hit or damage with said weapon8    If a power is related to the nature of the creature, it gets +1 to hit and damage; goes up by tier9    If an ability is given for use outside of combat, it is usually padded with a minor combat or skill bonus10    Bloodied gives a +2 bonus till end of next turn11    Bloodied and +1 bonus of some and is mixed with some other bonus that is always on (ex low light).12    0 points gives a +2 to two different attributes for the encounter; could probably replace that with a +3 bonus to one13    Combat adv usually gives a  +2 bonus and with a specific energy14    Racial powers can set off a healing surge (either for self or others) - other is usually for a cleric15    If class/racial power is defensive, a feat usually requires being struck before "theme" of race takes place.16    Rerolls can be taken as a feat, but only one per encounter17    If an action would disrupt an ability, taking a feat can remove that disruption18    A common theme is an additional -1 to something till the end of turn.  Could probably increase to -2 if it is very specific19    Initiative isn't very valuable and needs to be added with another minor ability20    Can be used to duplicate another heroic feat for stacking purposes….probably shouldn't do that too often21    Class specific feats that are also racial are interconnect on both sides.22    Feat can be used to expand racial ability to an area effect, rather then one.23    If an attribute bonus is added in a racial/class feat, it usually is based on a 2ndary stat of the class.24    if based on power source +1 damage and can go up by tier25    if a feat tinkers with a beast companion usually gets an ability or a racial resistance26    special feature usually adds a +1 bonus till next turn27    matches circumstancial bonuses of two skills to get +528    If given resistance to an energy, it is usually 5, and goes up by 5 per tier     Paragon    1    Powers in feel are that of a tv show or action movie, rather then a simple bonus2    They don't usually need prequisites from heroic feats.  Instead they usually require a power or skill training3    Most of them enhance powers and usually by a significant amount, but non beyond a round's worth of results. 4    Most are based on a standard action.5    Racial Powers are not used if it fails6    If a power affects how a character is damaged, it might give an additional favorable effect7    Power may give a related, but different effect on top of standard power8    It might act as a power trigger9    Hit points seem to be 1/2 plus con if triggered by power10    Changing a racial power to an at will is really weak, needs other powers at this level11    if takes damage or suffers an effect, the paragon feat can retailiate on behalf of the character12    a lot of adjacent bonuses used in conjunction with racial powers13    can be used to tweak standard move with base abilityElite    1    Bonus at this level if relatively constant is usually +2, but stacks with other powers2    Gives up to +4 bonus in specific circumstances3    Often used to restore racial abilities under a specific circumstance4    Allows premature ending of powers to get additional bonuses5    If reduced to 0 hit points, it causes an additional and powerful effect6    Adds a Racial effect to a Class power.*******************************************************Is that right?</blockquote>
