[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6289950, member: 1465"] [B]Preliminary thoughts: feats in general[/B] Some more thoughts about how to deal with feats, especially since d20 Rokugan has an immense material when it comes to feats... it would be great to be able to use them without too much work! But very clearly, feats in D&DNext are bigger, something between twice and three times the size of 3e feats. One existing problem I already mentioned, is how to represent [B]Void Use[/B], which in d20 Rokugan is a large feats tree: the first feat gives you the ability to spend void points for basic uses, after that there's plenty of feats granting additional uses of void points or increased benefits for previous uses. Every character can potentially acquire these feats. Another problem is [B]martial arts [/B]feats. I would rather have these exclusives to Monks, so that Samurai have techniques and maneuvers, Shugenja have spells, Courtiers have special courtier abilities, and Monks have martial arts. All of these can sometimes be common and some other times Clan-exclusive. It might be possible to salvage all these d20 feats (well, not [I]all[/I] since we still have to purge the lists from feats which break bounded accuracy), so here's a very simple idea... ...how about if, every time a 5e Rokugan character can acquire a feat or +1 in two ability scores, she can either: - gain a 5e feat - gain +1 in two ability scores - gain two 3e feats - gain +1 in one ability score and one 3e feat This would allow to both use all 5e feats (excluding those thematically inappropriate to Rokugan) and all 3e Rokugan feats (excluding those mechanically inappropriate to 5e). I.e., we don't really need to worry about converting lots of smaller d20 feats into larger 5e feats! [/QUOTE]
