Message: <blockquote data-quote="LightPhoenix" data-source="post: 5315279" data-attributes="member: 115">The reason for this is (most likely) because one of the ideas behind Essentials was to remove prerequisites for feats across the board.  There are still some, but the number has been greatly reduced and in most cases there seems to be reasoning behind having them.  An excellent example would be the improved NAD feats.  Generally, a +2 to one NAD isn't worth the feat if the character already has a high score.  However, if they get something extra out of it, not only does it make the feat more attractive, but also thematically sensible.Similarly, if a character has a high Con, why shouldn't they be allowed to take a feat that implies improved stamina simply because they aren't a dwarf?  In the case of Resolute Stamina, it has limited use for non-Dwarves due to SW being a Standard Action.  On the other hand, if you want to burn an AP and spend two Second Winds, why not?  There's no real reason to limit the feat to Dwarves aside from flavor.On that note, I don't get why there's prerequisites on the feat in the article at all.  Resolute Stamina I understand the Con 15, but I'm not certain it's really necessary - most Dwarves will throw points into Con with the Bonus anyway.  Quick Steps I could see if they want to keep +1 speed to Paragon Tier, but allowing Dwarves early access removes one of their bigger drawbacks.  Solid Footing I don't understand at all, and could easily come up with flavor reasons why other races should get it.</blockquote>
