[QUOTE="Runestar, post: 5127766, member: 72317"] Considering that you may well be playing that same character for months on end, if not a year+, it makes sense (to me at least) to first spend some time and effort designing him to be capable of what you want him to do. I see it as an investment. What you get out of it depends on how much work you put into making it work, IMO. Granted, in 4e, there seems less need to plan because costly feat chains and steep prc requirements no longer exist, but back in 3e, if you wanted to take a feat such as whirlwind or qualify for a prc such as archmage (as a sorc), you would often need to start mapping out your progression from lv1 to lv20, to ensure that you are able to acquire those abilities at the desired lvs. If you simply took whatever feat seemed cool at the time, you will probably be stuck with all the lower-tier ones, because you cannot qualify for any of the more powerful ones with steeper requirements.:erm: [/QUOTE]
