Message: <blockquote data-quote="Insight" data-source="post: 5738528" data-attributes="member: 11437">I suppose one possibility would be to consolidate feats, skills, powers, and class features into one big pool.  Call it "Features".  Some of it is customizable, some of it you get by default from your class or race.So, to create your character, you choose a class, race, your ability scores, and a series of features, then your equipment.You would have certain categories of features, such as Feature [Race]Feature [Class]Feature [Skill]Feature [Combat]Feature [Social]Feature [Background]... or something along those lines.Let's say you want to make a Gnome Mage (Illusion School).  You would automatically getFADE AWAYFeature [Race]ILLUSION APPRENTICEFeature [Class]SPELLBOOKFeature [Class]ARCANAFeature [Skill]SIMPLE WEAPONSFeature [Combat]WIZARD IMPLEMENTSFeature [Combat]CLOTH ARMORFeature [Combat]and then choose a number of other Features - you may want to limit how many skill, combat, (or whatever sort of Features that exist) you can take.  Prerequisites could also limit what Features you could take.Examples of Features that could spring off the ones you get by default:DIPLOMACY Feature [Skill]DUNGEONEERINGFeature [Skill]HISTORYFeature [Skill]INSIGHTFeature [Skill]MASTER TRICKSTERFeature [Race]NATUREFeature [Skill]REACTIVE STEALTHFeature [Race]RELIGION Feature [Skill]TRICKSTER'S CUNNINGFeature [Race]... and a number of the existing Gnome and Wizard feats as optionsThe difference between this system and the current system would be more flexibility.  Instead of being forced to take 4 skills or all of a race's abilities, you would receive what is considered "CORE" for your race and class and everything else would be optional.</blockquote>
