Proposal: Replace expertise related bonus with a feat bonus

[renau1g]

I'm going to switch my vote to a NO.

 

[stonegod]

So, as it stands, I can take Crossbow Expertise for free at 5th and then chose another feat for normal?

 

[Xeterog]

except tht you normally don't get a feat a 5th level

 

[FourMonos]

And if I'm reading this correctly, no expertise feats?

 

[renau1g]

As it currently stands you get a free bonus expertise feat at 5th level the other feats are as normal

Whoa, where the heck have I been - every character currently gets a free expertise feat at 5th level? I must have missed that memo.

For what it is worth, I think that getting rid of the house rule altogether and just allowing people to choose the feats they want is the way to go, but I am not going to look a gift feat in the mouth (now I am off to update Dextyr....thanks)

With the apparent death of this proposal, I have a question- what is the situation for characters that get a free Expertise feat as a class feature (specifically the Hunter build of essentials Ranger, which gets either Bow expertise or Crossbow expertise at 1st level). Do they:
A. ignore the house rule and get their free expertise at level 1 as the build specifies? (and if so, do they get another expertise feat free at level 5?)
B. delay getting the free expertise until 5th level and then only get the expertise the build specifies (thus essentially getting shortchanged a feat)?
C. delay getting the free expertise until 5th level and then get their build expertise and an additional free expertise feat (like everyone else does now)?

 

[renau1g]

I would lean towards A myself.

 

[Ozymandias79]

I am also leaning towards A and IMHO they will get an expertise feat at fifth level as we all get

 

[stonegod]

That'll require a vote (as it is illegal right now).
