Jason: Will Racial Feats be in Beta?

...or will we have to wait until the PF RPG comes out next year? And do you still want us to post these Feats here on the Alpha 3 threads (or Alpha 2)?

Racial feats might go in the Beta, but they might need to wait until the final next year. Right now, I consider them outside the scope of the current rules, and additions such as these need to wait until the primary jobs are done.

By all means, move (or copy and paste) the information from Alpha 2 discussion here! I've found that I rarely look back at the previous Alpha boards after a new one is posted, but would hate to miss the additions on this subject posted thus far.

If people are still interested in designing Racial Feats, I might do that (at least for all the Feats I personally posted).

However, I'd like everyone to pay attention to the whole thread, so that there will be as much constructive feedback/criticism as possible, *and* less overlap in suggestions. Please do not post (under a different name) Feats that are mechanically or thematically identical to another Feat already posted. If you feel your own idea or version would work better, feel free to offer comments about how you would "tweak" or redesign the Feat to make it work better.

By sticking to these "rules" we make it easier for Jason (and other Paizo Staffers) to read this thread. And, if we work together, offering honest and constructive feedback to each other, we may be able to "polish" some of these Feats so that they might indeed end up in the Pathfinder RPG when it comes out next year. :)

(*Bump* ;)

Is anyone still interested in designing these Feats?


I am certainly willing to provide the racial feats I've thrown together for my own campaign setting. I can't guarantee how balanced they are, because I don't get to do a lot of play testing except in "live fire" demonstrations and most people don't have the patience to go through my massive list of house-ruled feats (the curs...), but they might help spark some ideas.

I think we'll start a new thread for Racial Feats called (surprisingly) '[THINK TANK] Racial Feats'. Please post your suggestions there! :)
