[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 7736787, member: 6799649"] Just like any decision about what to choose when levelling up, it isn't a democracy where other people vote what class features you must choose for your PC. Each person makes their own decision for their own PC. Player: Cool, I've just hit 2nd level as a ranger, and I can choose a fighting style. I'll choose....Two-Weapon Fighting! The Other Players: No. We had a vote and decided unanimously that you have to choose the Archery style instead. Player: WTF? DM: Fair's fair, it was a free vote. You have to go with the majority on this one. Player: NO! No I don't! It's none of their business! The choice is mine to make! Words have meanings. Sometimes a word may have more than one valid meaning. But that doesn't mean that any word has any meaning you want it to and that counts as valid! Remember the crowd scene in The Life of Brian? Brian: You're all different! Crowd: Yes! We're all different! Beggar: I'm not. First, 'unique' means one-of-a-kind. How you can be [i]more[/i] one-of-a-kind or [i]less[/i] one-of-a-kind is a strange concept(!). Second, saying that taking a feat is 'less unique' than taking a generic +2 to a stat, indeed the whole idea of taking away choices (feat OR +2 stat bonus) and leaving them only with the choice of where to put the +2, isn't making characters more variable, it makes them much more likely to be the same as anyone else of that class. That particular reason for denying feats is just wrong in so many ways. There may be other reasons to ban feats that aren't so blatantly wrong as this reason. [/QUOTE]
