[QUOTE="RisnDevil, post: 2281908, member: 15160"] I once had a DM that allowed us to do just what you want (about switching class features for feats). One rule we had though, is you could NOT switch a bonus feat for a feat. The only examples for that off-hand are the Fighter bonus feats and the Wizard bonus feats. The other thing, you could not give up spellcasting for a feat. (Some one had an Assassin that had no intentions of ever using his spells, so much so that he did not even know the list or how many he had, but the DM would not allow him to exchange spellcasting for a feat.) If you do that, it pretty much does balance out. The only issue you get into is progressive abilities. We ruled that if MUCH later you decided you wanted a progressive ability, like say, at level 17 a Rogue deciding he WANTS his Sneak Attack but had given it up at every level thus far, then at level 17 he acts like he is just getting it for the first time.
