Is this new feat balanced?

It's b0rken.

Think about it: what if the dirty powergamer in your group takes this feat, then uses the extra feat to take this feat, then uses that extra feat to take this feat, etc etc, until he has a character with a bazillion feats at level 1? Who would ever play a human again?

Not to mention that he could achieve critical feat mass and suck your game world into the void.
 


I see that that is your 666th post, you fiend :]

That feat's not broken unless [A] the extra feat is considered a "bonus feat," which without the caveat that you must meet the prereqs, doesn't require you to; or , the feat's on some bonus feat list, and can be used for taking a feat not on the list.


Can you tell that I've stopped thinking rationally yet?
 

I can't think of any situation in which taking a feat to get a different feat, as you propose, would be anything other than

A) Silly, as Taren points out
or
B) Broken, as John Q points out.

If it lets you get a feat not on you list (IE fighter) then it's broken.

May I ask what context would even conspire to make you want to make this feat, which does nothing?

[a]: It's his 666th post.
: Someone used his computer to post another pointless poll up in Off Topic, I think.

no, it's more like "I wish for a wish". Assuming you must meet the prerequisites for the other feat, it's exactly the same as simply bypassing the middleman (or middle-feat, if you will) and just gaining that feat.
