Wanting the game effect of feat C, but not wanting the three prerequisites for it. It would also eliminate the redudnant material that's creept into the game. How many feats have we seen as variants of a luck style where you get a bonus to a die roll 1/day ,or a bonus d6 to a die roll, or action points?The game is crushed under the weight of it's supplements not because it has to be, but because the current game mechanics force it.</blockquote>
