[QUOTE="eriktheguy, post: 4835792, member: 83662"] Possible, but unlikely. It's a heroic level feat, so all they are doing is limiting your selction of heroic level feats, not your paragon or epic feats. Additionally, most feats add situational modifiers rather than solid modifiers so those feats probably give you less of a bonus than expertise could. What I'm saying is, it would be very hard to argue that traditional feats make characters so powerful that they need to be limited. You could probably give a group of paragon or epic characters a handful more heroic feats for free without upsetting the balance much. It's like giving them more at-wills, it would only give them more options, not make their current attacks more powerful. The only situation I can think of where feats stack for a bonus to a single number is for a caster with no armor proficiency to become proficient with hide and heavy shields (5 feats). I don't think that this needs nerfing though. [/QUOTE]
