[QUOTE="fanboy2000, post: 5000090, member: 19998"] Here's where things get strange for me, I can accept that the math might be off if all that means is that a 5th level PC has an easier time hitting a 5th level monster, all other things scaling appropriately. I can also accept that Wizard's publishes very powerful feats and powers. I'm not sure that they're existence is intertwined. At worst, all the racial power you cited is power creep. Not exactly a new phenomena. That is not my opinion. I think that some options are powerful, maybe even overpowered, but that's not the same as saying it's unreasonable to pass up the option. Exactly. So it surprises me that Expertise comes-up in all these "math threads" when, clearly, the feat is powerful regardless of what the underlying math is. While that may be true, that evidence is anecdotal. That said, I'm very interested in what feats most people playing 4e take. I believe this is actually web browser specific. For example, Safari has spell check in all boxes in all text entry boxes. Near as I can tell IE does not. [/QUOTE]
