[QUOTE="elecgraystone, post: 4762253, member: 74232"] But the same logic can be used for the Gensai. 'Why? For one reason, it makes the [B]Gensai [/B]better'. ;) A druid has to spend a minor action to use melee and it blocks off the majority of his controller powers to do so. And even after the change, his OA and charges suck. That means the 'buff' of martial training went so far as to 'buff' even the druid! To fix the wobbly leg, you replaced ALL 4 legs with longer ones. ;) I understand you feel that way but I don't understand why. Thanks for saying so. :o Honestly, I don't get this. Every racial article adds feats to do just this. Don't like your cloud of darkness? Change it to webs of darkness. Don't like your dragon breath as a blast? Make it a burst. Don't like the damage type? Change that too. The feats already ARE "Customize Feats To Suit Your Personal Build" aren't they? When people argued against allowing the hurl dragon breath feat, did people say it was because a dragonborn shouldn't be allowed to customize? Nope, They argued about it's balance. After thinking about it, the only thing I'd change about the proposed feat would be to make it less specialized. Make it a generic racial feat. That way it's not a one trick pony. The place could get cluttered with feats if they are made too specific. Is that what you meant by feats for your personal build covaithe? Versatile Racial Power Requirement: Racial power with an attack stat Benefit: You may use a different attack stat than is listed for your racial powers. You must pick the new stat when you pick up this feat and it can't be changed. [/QUOTE]
