[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 5925117, member: 1465"] I don't understand why you find feats to be restrictive... do you mean that it is restrictive in the sense that you [I]need[/I] a feat to do something that you feel everybody should be able to do (such as getting an advantage when attacking from hidden)? If that's the case, I think it's a little subjective... as long as you CAN attack from hidden, I don't mind the fact that the bonus or additional benefit requires a feat. If you mean that themes are restrictive because the feats/powers they grant are set in stone, I think it was mentioned many times that themes and backgrounds can be treated as samples, and the player can opt to pick feats and skills individually. There is need for some agreement between players and DM: - do we play completely without skill bonuses and feats? - do we play with skill bonuses and feats but restrict ourselves to printed backgrounds and themes? - do we play with skill bonuses and feats but freely pick them (ignore the backgrounds and themes)? I think the last option will be completely valid, and that's hardly restrictive. [/QUOTE]
