Obsolete Feats

[Ryujin]

Aside from headings, which are always capitalized, power is never capitalized in 4e terminology, so this feels like pointless semantics.

I didn't say that they were. I said that maybe they should be. The imprecision of language used, in many sections of the rules, is responsible for the majority of confusion over them. If you're going to define a term, then that term must be consistently used throughout the rules.

Also, for those arguing that a "class feature power" doesn't count as a normal power should read the How to Read A Power section in the PHB.

Emphasis mine. If it comes in that format (they later put the Pact Boons in that format), it's a power. Otherwise, it wouldn't use the power format.

And there's another cause for confusion; they 'later' did it another way. Does that invalidate the previous? Supersede it? Have no effect whatsoever?

Consistency isn't necessarily the hobgoblin of small minds. Certainly not when it comes to creating a viable framework, from which to hang all things.
