[QUOTE="grickherder, post: 4738408, member: 68043"] It does suck being torn. A trade off between combat effectiveness and character concept is indeed a lose-lose. I still maintain, however, that such a dichotomy is created by players emphasizing certain priorities over others. I'm not torn. No one in my groups is torn. If someone finds themselves torn between choosing expertise and something they would normally find more interesting if not for how good expertise is, that's a result of their priorities. Does it suck that the current rules create a situation where people with certain priorities will find themselves torn in their feat choices, feeling they have to pay a feat tax to stay competitive? Yes it does. So the options for those who find themselves in such a situation are to either a) modify their priorities, b) accept being torn and live with whatever they choose, c) create a house rule that removes the situation or d) do nothing and complain about it on the internet.
