Is this new feat balanced?

[Herzog]

Actually, it's not a new feat at all.

It already exists, even in 3.0

It is one of the properties of a human.

(human: you get an extra feat at lvl 1)

Some classes give out this feat with restrictions:

Fighter bonus feat, wizard metamagic feats.

Some classes give out this feat with extreme restrictions and/or dispensations:

Monk bonus feats

So, nothing new, just giving something already present in the game a name.

(and yes, taking this feat as one of your standard feats is indeed rather pointless)

Unless there are an Prcs out there that simply count the number of feats you have I think we're okay on this one

 

[Balgus]

You guys are getting it all wrong. Poor misunderstood feat. The point of the feat is to allow you to choose another feat. It's brilliant! I mean- what better way to increase your combat prowess than through feats. i mean that is what they are designed for, right? And what better way to get more feats than with a feat? I mean... my God! I need to pitch this to my DM immediately before someone steals this.

Okay, look at it from an epic point of view. Fighters get ALOt of feats, most classes get bonus feats anyway, and even if you can kick ass, you get a nat 1 at a finger of death, orb of destruction, or dissintegrate spell, and bitch you're toast. Really, this feat is kind of useless. You get alot of feats, then what? You take up WAY too much time looking through your feats going, " Okay, the orc just punched me, so what can I do?" And the DM is like, " IDK head, why don't you look through your sheets of feats?"
Any DM in their right mind wouldn't allow this feat. Keep trying though!
Hezrog: These are class feats, where as "extra feat" is general, most likely available to anyone.
Stalker: what?
Balgus: again, fail ur fort in finger of death, and idc if you can kill me with a twig that was just burned and then crapped out, ur dead.
You guys with the wish thing: You can only replicate an 8th spell or lower without some major consequence, and even when u do that, there's still a possibility of a bitchy DM, you know?
