[QUOTE="0-hr, post: 2842620, member: 4734"] Everyone seems to be focused on changing things (like feats) that you thought would be good but turned out not to be so good. My concern is purposely taking a feat that you KNOW you will swap out in three levels. For example, I'm a wizard so I take Toughness at 1st level. I know that those hp will be trivial later but I can just swap out the Toughness for something like Empower Spell (which would have been a waste at 1st level) once that is more beneficial for me. The rebuilding rules don't say you can only swap out things that didn't work out as planned - they just say you can swap one thing a level. In effect, they are encouraging a character plan that includes swappable abilities. You should maximize your low level feat choice and decide right up front when you will swap things out to keep you at the top of the power curve. It's this added source of endorsed munchkinizm that worries me. (and I'm a player, so don't tell me to "just ban it" if I don't like it) [/QUOTE]
