[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5514993, member: 63"] I feel like there's just too damned many of them to choose from, and then even more ones that you can't choose and just get in the way. They make 10 feats for each class, but those feats are unavailable to other classes. I get that it's supposed to avoid unbalanced cross-pollination, but it makes everything so niche that they're frustrating to read. "Ooh, teleport an enemy when they . . . no, I have to be a revenant eladrin battlemind. What about this one? Slide a foe you hit . . . but it's only once per encounter while wielding a spear and a shield and using Reaping Strike. Gah!" 3e was a bit TOO focused on "put pieces together to make something cool," which let you build PCs like erector sets, though there were a lot of ways to make crappy things, and a few ways to abuse physics. 4e is too focused on giving you 4 different action figures to choose from, and telling you "accessorize it with these 3,197 different decals!"
