Subclasses are what feat chains aspired to be. But feats neither have the power budget nor combo protection of subclasses and so can only ever half-ass the job unless you're running a classless system.  The Lich and Death Knight are closer to paragon paths or even epic destinies than standard subclasses admittedly.And I don't understand how the fire-and-forget unbalanced nature of kits that often actively take away abilities so are hard to use or the contort-yourself-for-six-levels-to-enter prestige classes aren't just worse than the easy to enter and versatile subclasses. (And all else being equal simpler is an advantage).</blockquote>
