[QUOTE="Kisanji Arael, post: 2698727, member: 20056"] Maybe you could control it by feat tier and requirements. So a feat that only required a +13 Dex would be cheaper than... say spring attack, but even after getting spring attack, it would still be worth the Xp to get dodge. I think 350 is way too small of a base to start at. Maybe 500 for any old feat. Add 250 if it needs a stat at a certain power, +250 for every +2 over 13 required. Add 100 for every BAB required. And add four hundred for every feat required. It still seems too many feats, but to give an example: Spring attack needs a Dex 13 (250) + BAB +4 (400) + 2 feats (800) +500 standard. Overall, that's 1950, about what it would take to get from 1st to second level. And there aren't going to be many that high. Leadership at 1000 exp (at least), but must be dealt with specially. Whirlwind would cost an even 3000. Metamagic should work the way you suggested, but with a higher base. Though my system is far from perfect, I like in it that low level feats will cost less. Yours, of course, has the advantage that the prices for feats such as whirlwind will be staggering if they try to get it too early. Yours, unfortunately, will only allow for a few extra feats before the prices become staggering. 350, 875, 2187, 5468, 13671. So I guess I recommend you find a middle ground, and tell me what it is.
