[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1416694, member: 63"] Just to clarify, that was a misunderstanding of the rules (and at one time was a mistake even I made). With any given super power in FCTF, you cannot spend more hero points than your total character level +3. The Gain Feat superpower lets you buy feats for 2 hero points each, and each feat is part of the same super power. Thus, if you got four feats, with the restriction you mentioned, it would cost 7 hero points, meaning you'd have to be at least 4th level. And it means that two levels of Hero when you're 12th level doesn't give you 16 feats at 1 point apiece, it gives you 8 feats for 15 points total, and 1 spare point. Plus I recall somewhere in that book it said that a restriction that is not a drawback cannot provide any sort of price reduction. When Reapersaurus took divine feats with the restriction that they were 'magical' and thus could be negated by antimagic, it wasn't really a drawback, because you can't channel divine energy in antimagic fields anyway. Tsk tsk tsk. You rules lawyers and the hoops you jump through. I don't mind smackdowns that really take advantage of the letter of the rules, but have some care about their spirit, please. *grin* [/QUOTE]
