[QUOTE="Intense_Interest, post: 4788559, member: 65904"] Can I disagree here? I would hate for WotC to create an interesting yet limited feat to be released in a book called "Complete X". I have Arcane Power, and I don't mind that there are some one-off "race/class combo" feats that are about as new and interesting as feats normally should be, if only for the person it is focused on. Instead of having to hunt around for a super-specific feat that has a thin book written around it (how many Complete Deva feats do you think can be included in a feats chapter: 15? 20?), I can crack open the Power book that my character is built upon (Arcane, Martial, or Divine & Primal soon) and go from there. In short, I have no problem with having specific feats in Arcane Power, because it saves me time and effort. Further, I enjoy the Power series of books entirely because it allows me to cherry-pick and sample for taste all the odd flavors like "Teleporting Eladrin Spear Fighter" that I would otherwise not use: because the Power books are really just "advertisements" for the character concepts they include, as well as being nifty new powers to be built around. And anyway, the Multiclass, Ritual, and Familiar feats- along with the "Spellscarred" mini-class style feats- serve nicely as the "splashy character-defining feats" that I think you're pining for. I had a Dwarf Fighter multiclassed into Wizard just to get Feather-Fall; He was a Para-Trooper, and it was cool. [/QUOTE]
