Feat Points and Feat Tiers

[Create Mr. Pitt]

So there are a lot of cool, flavorful feats that are hard to take, especially if a class is feat-starved. What are the downsides, other than imprecision, of having feats ranked as ranging from 1 through 3 in terms of power. Each class would get feat points by level the equivalent roughly 3 times what their class normally gets.

I think the difficult part here would be actually assessing the cost of each feat, but it would allow for more flexible and interesting builds without imbalancing the system too much.

Edit: Self-flag to move to homebrew.

I'd definitely love something like this. And there is something kind of similar here: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?333370-Feat-Point-System-for- Pathfinder

The main problem is definitely going to be how to price a feat. Whether it is much more powerful to a certain class, certain situation, just valued differently by different people, etc.

Many feats are subjectively good. It might be great for one build or class to downright crappy for another. It would be a lot more difficult than adding points. How someone plays is also a factor, and some feats value will change based on the other feats you have.

Ive been working on this. So far I have the crb to ultimate magic priced out.
