I really like the issue of feats to work from an organic point of view in terms of customisation. You should be able to specialize with your tools (weapons/wands/thief tools) a bit, strengthen your abilities a bit, work of things outside your class/background so that you can express the archetype/realize your character. That's the bottom line. That why we play the game, to develop and grow an idea expressed as a character. FWIW I think Skyrim did a really good job for a computer game to enable meaningful choices each time you leveled up because the feats were all quite equal, had established prerequisites - so the choice came down to the basic question: what idea am I trying to express here. Whereas 3rd and 4th ed D&D had too many feats which varied ridiculously in power and so many were extremely narrow (I always loved the feat in 3rd or 4th ed which have flail users +2 to hit against enemies holding a shield: that is just silly).</blockquote>
