They coordinate their builds, item choices, tactics and breakfast cereals. (And then they are dismayed when they read a thread which reveals how weak they are compared to Lord Duskblade's melee ranger who can dish out 1600 points of damage in a round.) I think the Expertise Feats are a good feat tax on such players: they desire tactical power most of all, so they should pay for it. Other players desire cool concepts and nifty stunts: as has been demonstrated, those players do not feel compelled to buy Expertise. So it is not a universal tax, only on power questers. Of course any player can buy Expertise, but only a few will whine about its "necessity." (My players certainly wish they could have it for free. But then again they think that Toughness, Improved Initiative, Paragon Defenses, Weapon Focus, Durable, Quick Draw, et cetera are all absolutely necessary.)</blockquote>
