[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8647463, member: 63508"] It actually it's really 3e PTSD and more the nature of feats and how WOTC sets them up. Basically because of the way WOTC set up the 4 types of PCs (Warriors, Experts, Priests, and Mages) and the base rules, feat chains/trees interact with the 4 types differently if you don't purposely make sure they dont. And WOTC didn't. Warriors gain so much power and utility wise from feat chains. Experts mostly gain utility from feat chains but said utility is less desirable in large doses (aka Experts don't get much) Priests get a lot of power from feat chains and might break if they focus too hard. Mages gain utility from feat chains but said utility is as powerful as the table's situation allows. For example the Rune Carver tree would give a warrior access to spells that break restrictions (feather fall) or multiply base actions (jump, longstrider) which is amazing. Valor of the Hill Giants say, nope I didn't get pushed. For an expert, it's nice but that's really not their game anyway.The priests and mages already get many of the spells and don't interact with the base rules as much as is (priest more so than wizards). So for them, it's more of a case of how important is spell versatility at their table or what rules do those feats multiply or unrestrict, Since WOTC isn't getting into the nitty gritty,they are more or less lowballing the feats and hoping it is enough that the inherrent differences of the PC types don't sway much.
