[QUOTE="Ashkelon, post: 7714944, member: 6774887"] I am disappointed about how many of these feats provide additional combat features. I feel it is a missed opportunity to enhance a characters social or exploration pillar. I don't think these feats should give players capabilities they couldn't already do with skills, but instead should enhance what those skills already do by getting rid of the skill check automatically or providing a drastically improved effect. For example, with the acrobatics feat I think it should just allow the character to ignore difficult terrain. That wouldn't be overpowered by any stretch. That way players without the feat could attempt to ignore difficult terrain with an acrobatics check, but possessing the feat ensures your ability to always inore difficult terrain. The athletics feat should grant a climb and a swim speed. Athletics already let's you climb and swim, but the feat allows you to do it without needing a check. The deception feat could produce a non magical effect similar to the suggestion spell. Deception already allows you to convince NPCs to do things, the feat just makes the types of effects bigger and better. More cool abilities like that would have been welcome [/QUOTE]
