[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8144899, member: 6778210"] There are definitely certain feats where I wish they had just made them class flavor features instead. In particular, the classic monk powers are ones that I wish were just part of the class rather than being feats, as they are cool perks but often compete with more useful stuff. And holy naughty word, 5E's decision to force a choice between ASIs and Feats was one of the things that hit me so hard in PF2.
