What percent of your 4e parties have an Expertise feat?

[GMforPowergamers]

I am in 2lfr games, and 1 homebrew, and I run a homebrew.

2 lfr games out of 7 players (Split so we have 5 in each group with some overlap) we have 3 out of 10 characters...one of mine (My swordmage) and both of matt's characters an Avenger and a Cleric

1 hombrew as a player (level 5) 5 characters 1 has it, I plan on taking it for my warlord at 10th level.

My hombrew game 6 PCs level 15 1 has it.

we also just ended a hombrew at 28th (5 players) no one took it.


so from my group (12 players) 26 character 5 have it...no one has it more then once.

Our party of 5 with 2 experts is 7th level. I'm the group's anti-grind specialist, so my fighter grabbed it ASAP, but my warlord hasn't had room for it yet. (There are so many good feats for an eladrin taclord!) My girlfriend likes my input for mechanical decisions, so I may have nudged her to take it for her rogue.

100% since I gave it to them for free (they are level 14 btw)

The Expertise feats are banned in the heroic-tier FR campaign I play in and replaced with a +1 attack bonus.

The Expertise feats will still be banned when I start an Eberron campaign later this summer. The 4E math imbalances will be fixed by house rules.

 

[Nymrohd]

Technically none, practically everyone. Expertise, Paragon Defenses, Epic Fort/Ref/Will are not allowed but everyone gets +1 at all attacks and NADs at 5, 15, 25.

I'm curious to know what tiers people are playing at with these answers?

I think at heroic its good, paragon its awesome, and epic its absolutely stupid not to take.

My group in in the heroic tier (6th level). And I believe that your assessment is correct, even though I have no actual play experience (except for the last game day adventure) at the paragon and epic tier.

well my experiance has been the polor opp...

before we even had a hint of these feats I made it from heroic to epic twice. the crowning exampe was our first game (1 level per week atleast) level 2-28 (but I died at 27)
we had a taclord (paragon multi paliden) my character
We had a rouge that diped into ranger
We had a wizard
We had a Fighter
We had 1 player switch characters multi times...

We never ran into this 'can't hit problem' except on solders of level +3 or more.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

In the group I'm DMing: 100%. I gave it out as a free feat.

In the group I'm playing in, about 40% so far, me and one other player out of five. I expect to see it crop up more and more though.

 

[Storminator]

It looks like we're going to 50% at 4th level.

Rogue and Fighter both took it as a 4th level feat. The Wizard is hoping to convince the DM to respec his PC, and if that flies he'll take it as well.

Not sure about the Swordmage, and neither leader (Taclord, Battlecleric) have yet.

In my case (Battlecleric), I'm committing myself to spend half my feats on skills - either training or focus. Since I'm not the backbone of our damage dealing, I'm not worried about the Expertise yet. I likely will pick up the Implement, to bolster my Holy Symbol, since it's going to fall behind my STR powers.

As blargney said, our Eladrin Taclord has sooooo many feats to choose from...
