These pre-organised "feats" (not the best word I know) can be easily scanned so that a new player will have a clear idea of what their character is supposed to be good at, even if they don't yet mechanically understand why their character is good at such things.At the next player level, the focus is on mixing these building blocks to craft the character concept they have in their head. With experience, they know that certain feats have particularly interesting or effective abilities but the focus is on who their character is and that their PC properly represents that mental picture.At the last player level, the focus is most likely on an appendix of lists in the back of the book, so they can see which abilities and powers are contained in which feats, and thus which feats are most synergistic for a particular concept or character focus.My hope (and what I'm trying to explore and think about in this thread) is that this system seems to cover quite a few bases in terms of character building preferences, and is somewhat intuitive for novices and experts alike (even if my presentation of it has been scatterbrained).Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
