Message: <blockquote data-quote="MerakSpielman" data-source="post: 745311" data-attributes="member: 7464">I like feats. I like lots of feats. They're pretty much all distinguishes different characters of the same class at the same level, when comparing character sheets.This is how I'm handling the Tons Of Feats problem in my upcoming campaign.I downloaded one of those huge feat netbook thingies. Not the standard Netbook of Feats, I think, but very similar.I didn't want to overwhelm my players with 400 new feats. They aren't going to want to read all that. Probably nobody wants to read more than, say, 20 new feats. At most.So I decided to make "Organizations" (a loose term that could be anything from a thieves guild, a temple, or a fighting school). All characters start as members of an organization. Each organization provides access to a special selection of feats. The characters do not have to pick any of these if they don't want to. NPCs have the same selection options. For example, a fighter who studied with the Blades might gain access to twenty or so nifty attack feats, while a Monk who studied at the Cloud Dojo has certain monk-specific, movement oriented feats, while the Fang Dojo teaches ways to focus Ki into new attack options.The more feats are available, the more options there are for creating truly unique characters.--predicted argument--"You should differentiate characters through personality and role-playing skills, instead of adding schmoodles of new rules (feats)!"--rebuttal--Some players are better role players than others because of their own personality. Should they be the only ones allowed unique characters? Some of my players struggle to have a conversation in-character, let alone express their character's unique personality and style. New feats, not all of which are combat-oriented, mind you, allow all players to have equally unique characters.<more arguements after people finish tearing apart this one. Waiting...></blockquote>
