[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3781874, member: 48965"] If these are like the specific force traditions that are in SW(see my above post) I would prefer they be generic. D&D doesn't have the same tropes as Star Wars, basically a pre-defined universe, and restricting what basically amounts to certain feats from characters will again bring about the whole character I want to create vs. these are order specific feats/talents. Now I'm not sure if there's going to be a specific difference between a "general" feat and something your order allows you to take, but if there isn't I see no need for the artificial seperation. If there is then just give a list with good rules for the DM on constructing his own orders in the DMG. I think putting setting specific material that is connected to game mechanics is a very fine line WotC should be careful when treading. I feel setting specific that is tied to the rules should be the purview of campaign sourcebooks. What I definitely don't want to see is what was done with PrC's...no real rules to make them and an endless number churned out to pad books. I'd just rather they establish that these orders are for individual campaign flavor and stick with it, whether it's in their campaign sourcebooks or my homebrew. [/QUOTE]
