[QUOTE="Fralex, post: 6634626, member: 6785902"] To feats, or not to feats, that is the question— Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer The Slings and Arrows of Optimization, Or to take Arms against a Sea of options, And by one's ruling, ban them? I was gonna try to do the whole soliloquy, but got bored. I allow feats, because they are fun. None are so good that everyone feels [I]required[/I] to take them. If someone takes a -5/+10 feat and it starts to be a problem, I figure I'll just decrease the +10 part by 1 each session until it stops feeling overpowered. Honestly, I love feats. They're these little packages of flavorful mechanics that help realize character concepts.
