I'm not saying that I'd not like to see it (I'm with you) but if they don't go for it, I'd probably allow it anyhow. Another way to look at it is to look at it the same as you (probably should) do with Backgrounds: A Background gives you your ASIs, a tool, a language, and a Feat. But you can also build a "Custom Background". This essentially means that you can take any given background as your base, and just change any one thing. The +1, say, or the feat that it grants (certainly no one would care if you change the language!).So, with feats, you could easily (barely a homebrew at all!) say that the feat's +1 is just a suggestion. Athlete gives +1 STR ("or another Ability of your choice"). Should you have a story reason as to WHY yours is different? I think you should. But I don't see why you can't change it.I've been building characters that often take PT1's "level 1" feats at Level 4. With an ASI. (And occasionally vice-versa WITHOUT the ASI). It's not broken.That would be nice, in particular as some of those feats can't possibly work the same way as they're written due to other changes. And they seem to have changed to some kind of "background" keyword over doing levelled feats, so I'd like to see what THAT means.</blockquote>
