[QUOTE="DarkKestral, post: 3574748, member: 40100"] Well, in d20 Modern, all basic classes get a talent every 2 levels, and a feat on every level they don't get a talent, so they ALL have bonus feat lists. Most of the AdCs (they're kinda like easy to get into prestige classes that are generally accessible by 4th class level) also have 3-5 bonus feats that are choosable from a list. The d20 Modern equivalent of a Fighter, the Soldier (a 10-level class) gets the fighter-only feats bonus feats every 2 levels, and 5 talents that would be overly powerful for a D&D feat, so chances are, the fighter in the Talent/Feat version of D&D would likely trade a few feats in for stuff like "Auto-confirm all crits with the expenditure of a action point" as abilities, but would probably get them back as part of the 'bonus feat from a class-specific list every two levels thing'...stuff which would largely be considered too powerful to be acceptable options that aren't class-specific, and which could grow in power as the character does, or are designed to be entry-level stuff that gives a small basic advantage, like small amounts of energy resist or DR/--. Granted, the soldier only has a 3/4 BAB and no automatic armor proficiencies, but then again, no one gets automatic armor proficiencies in d20 Modern, and 3/4 BAB's the most common BAB in that game. Plus, the only base classes and AdCs that give +1 BAB, HP, and/or AC are good classes for the Soldier to take anyway, depending on his specialty, and are generally good routes for getting into the class. So it really doesn't gimp him much... [/QUOTE]
