[QUOTE="elecgraystone, post: 5110128, member: 74232"] I was talking about draconic spellcasting. If we change the 5th level bonus to feat, then it becomes a more restricted form of focus. WOTC rewards people for specializing. A feat bonus to everything rewards not specializing. Axe only had 1 non-style heroic feat for a ranger, though nothing is stopping his from picking it up. Since it quite possible that you don't have the at will that goes with the style and since the other feat adds Con to OA's, it's quite possible that you don't have a con bonus to add. So to answer your question, WOTC might be the one stopping you from having axe feats. We have had DM'd here say that the wish list is only a suggestion. That means that you might end up seeing a one handed axe drop and you use one handed swords. If you have the generic expertise and no (or less plus) magic weapon why not use it at least for the adventure? With individual expertise it might be better to use your non-magic weapon. If wishlist where always followed then this wouldn't be an issue. Why wouldn't keeping as much as we can unchanged be for the best? The reason for putting as little houserules in is the fact that we don't know what's going to happen. I think it's better to not phase anything out we don't have to in case it's needed in the future. IMO expertise feats aren't something we NEED to phase out and we can keep them around with little issue (extra feat slot at 5th just for one of those feats). Since I'm offering it as a solution to some of the issue brought up by a vote, I think this should be here. If the bonus doesn't change or we agree to an empty feat slot then there isn't a need for it. In effect I'd putting forth 'we could make it a feat bonus AND alter the racial feats'. I think this could make everyone happy but I don't think changing the bonus and maybe altering the feats will. [/QUOTE]
