[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8539496, member: 18"] I think the big problem with Feats that you're describing here is really organisation and presentation. I mean, yeah some are just boring, but the issue of having to read through a bunch of totally irrelevant Feats to pick out the few that might be relevant? That's always sucked. And on top of that, you have idiocy like Crossbow Expert being more used by people who use spells than Crossbows, which brings back bad memories of earlier editions and trying to figure out horrible corner-case usages of Feats, some of which were fairly clutch in practical terms. If they just reorganised Feats under like "Magic" "Fighting" and "Skills" and maybe "Misc/Other" (lol), I think 75% of the eye-glazing would stop right there. Add in yes, some more exciting and bizarre Feats, and absolutely that helps stop the eye-glazing. Delete some boring Feats, and make the ways to gain proficiencies/skills/languages without messing with Feats a lot more obvious and player-facing than they already are, and we'd be seriously cooking with gas. Also if you see a Crossbow Expert situation, either change it so the corner-case thing can't happen, or make a magical equivalent of it or whatever. [/QUOTE]
