[QUOTE="AmerginLiath, post: 7480448, member: 777"] I agree with the folks who say that there IS a reason for how the system is built, but I have a thought for the OP. Your line of thought seems to be built mainly around characters’ access to feats. Since the ASI/feats system is based largely on feats being optional (the core system assuming that those class ASI slots are only used for ASIs), why not just separate the two? Keep the class-level ASI slots for attribute advancement (keeping the decision point on single/multi-classing over delaying of attribute score leveling) as it is, but add bonus feats at given character levels (while not allowing feat purchases at class-level ASI breaks). This lets characacters all get interesting feats regardless of class choices while still having a “cost” in the choices over multiclassing. Meanwhile, while characters end up being more powerful this way, it’s easy enough to simply bump up the challenge level of monsters and dungeons to compensate (while the extended range of abilities from the new feats gives the DM an increased range of threats to use against the party).
