Finding non-combat feats that don't just suddenly act as if they forbid ordinary things from being done without the feat. Splat books could give a lot of scool stuff, but could also give precedent for normal stuff suddenly requiring a feat to even attempt, and you never have enough feats.The example of Legendary Survivalist is also interesting - if you're actually playing some kind of Ranger because you want to play with the exploring and adventuring in the wild, removing any challenges of that with a single feat can be unsatisfying. (Of course, skill feats aren't the only thing that can do that, at 15th level, there will also be a lot of spells that make it superflous). There is also a class of skill feats that seem really weak - like Lie to Me. Most characters thatOne thing that might work: Instead of providing ways to use skills that you expect anyone should try, maybe give them a tiny bonus for doing so, but also reward them for having done so. ExamplesLie to Me: Once per adventure, gain a hero point when you successfully see through a deception. Legendary Survivalist: You don't need food or water to survive, but once per day, when drinking a ration of water or eating a ration of food, treat it like a Healing Potion appropriate to your level.  Something that makes you go out to actively use these skill feats, too.</blockquote>
