A WEEK between sessions in which to level up your character?  And you can't spend any scanning through the Feat list?What's the point of leveling up a character at all if you DON'T want to spend an hour or so deciding what to do for him?  Isn't that supposed to be the FUN part of leveling?  Getting to look through all the options available and making decisions on how you want your character to be?  You take that away... then the whole reason for the leveling process goes away too.  You might as well just hit the "auto-level" button and be done with it.I find it absolutely hilarious that at the same time we have countless people complaining that because of the existence of the "feat tax" feats they now have no choice in what to take... we have all these people complaining about "anti-feat bloat" and having too many choices and being forced to read them all.Here's an idea... everyone who feels like there are too many feats... go skim through the all the "feat tax" threads or the CharOp boards, find out what the top feats are across the board, and then just choose them.  It'll save you the 30 minutes sitting at the Character Builder.</blockquote>
