[QUOTE="BluWolf, post: 348010, member: 627"] [b]Thank you Luddite[/b] I think you Luddite expands upon my earlier point perfectly. Outside of combat and crafting item actions the "rules" STS of 3E are pretty vague. Example; Can you own a castle in 3E? Yes. Ok, what does that mean? It means you own a castle that is worth X number of GPs with Y number of servants. Ok, so that means I have X less amount of gold to buy nifty items and stuff and I have a place to hang my hat. What else does it mean? It means you hold the fielty of the commoners within your dominion. How many? I don't know...say 280. Did you make that up? Yes. How? I don't know it sounds reasonable............. And so and so on. The problem with taking feats that would influence these sort of sceanrios is the mechanics that govern this sort interaction don't exist. So if the DM is doing this sort of thing on the fly then most likely the feasts that influence them are never taken into consideration. There is no reason for a player to take them. [/QUOTE]
