[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4810339, member: 115"] The issue: Thus far, in Martial Power and Arcane Power, there have been a good number of feats with racial prerequisites that don't require racial abilities. The solution: I've gone through MP and AP with an eye towards removing racial prerequisites for feats. This should increase the number of options for each class. The guidelines I used are - [LIST=1] [*]A feat should only have a racial prerequisite if it relies on a racial power. [*]Exceptions will be made for style reasons, but alternatives will be given that do not rely on that style. [*]Since Humans and Half-Elves don't have racial powers, feats with those prerequisites will generally be left alone. [*]However, Dwarven feats will be considered – except if the feat involves one of their traits [*]Feats with special consideration will be listed separately and explained. [/LIST] [B][SIZE=4] Martial Power[/SIZE][/B] Remove the racial prerequisites from the following feats (asterisk indicates special notes): [U]Heroic Tier[/U] Bloodied Invigoration Devoted Challenge Fey Blades Halfling Stalwart * Fiendish Companion * Lucky Skirmisher Thundertusk Companion * Ankle Cutter * Brutal Teamwork Dwarf Trapsmith Longsword Finesse * Tunnel Stalker* Bold Action Bolstering Inspiration Bravura Spirit Fey Command * Leading Fire Tactical Inspiration [B]Halfling Stalwart[/B] Change “Halfling” to “Small” - my preferred change, for style [B]or[/B] Change “Large or larger creatures” to “creatures two or more size categories larger.” [B]Fiendish Companion[/B] Feyborn Companion and Nimble Companion utilize [I]Fey Step[/I] and [I]Second Chance[/I], respectively. You may wish to keep the racial prerequisite for consistency in style. [B]Thundertusk Companion[/B] Feyborn Companion and Nimble Companion utilize [I]fey step[/I] and s[I]econd chance[/I], respectively. You may wish to keep the racial prerequisite for consistency in style. [B]Ankle Cutter[/B] Change “Halfling” to “Small” - my preferred change, for style [B]or[/B] Change “Large or larger enemy” to “an enemy two or more size categories larger.” [B]Longsword Finesse[/B] Change “Eladrin” to “Proficiency with longsword.” Add to prerequisites: “Sneak Attack” - in case you have one of the alternative multi-class feats. [B]Tunnel Stalker[/B] Change “Dwarf” to “Proficiency with axes, hammers, or picks.” Add to prerequisites: “Sneak Attack” - in case you have one of the alternative multi-class feats. [B]Fey Command[/B] Since this causes a teleport effect, you may wish to keep the Eladrin prerequisite for style, even if the feat doesn't use [I]fey step[/I]. Alternatively, change “Eladrin” to “Fey Origin.” [U] Paragon Tier[/U] Draconic Arrogance Enduring Wallop Opportunistic Archer * Hunter's Advantage Prime Slayer Bloody Inspiration [B]Opportunistic Archer[/B] Change “Elf” to “Proficiency with shortbow or longbow.” [U]Epic Tier[/U] Feywild Warrior * [B]Fey Warrior[/B] Since this causes a teleport effect, you may wish to keep the Eladrin prerequisite for style, even if the feat doesn't use [I]fey step[/I]. Alternatively, change “Eladrin” to “Fey Origin.” [/QUOTE]
