[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7254502, member: 996"] You forgot every discussion being restricted to "The RAW." And because they can't cross-pollinate within the class, unless the bring some other rules element with them - like new spells or new uses for CS dice... Nod. I have mixed feelings about it. More feats did mean more customization, but 'feat taxes' and feat chains could end up reducing that apparent freedom. Feat chains could relegate a defining or even foundational ability to comparatively high level (the human & fighter 1st-level bonus feats could pull that in). 5e's 'big' feats can sometimes have a similar effect (though the variant human's bonus feat at 1st level really pulls it in, the fighter's at 6th, not so much). True, Paizo does put out a lot of material to its subscribers... That's a stereotype, sure. IDK if it's as prevalent as all that, but, as long as they have the money to buy it, hey, it's a demand, there's profit to be made filling it! ;P Another reason to want more material is if the current material doesn't yet enable the things you want to run or play (or even could just stand to do so better). That may also be behind a minority of calls for new material, but it's still a very legitimate reason. [/QUOTE]
