Feats that scale up as levels increase

[Mosaic]

I've read a lot of threads now where people have ideas for different feat bonuses to scale up as levels increase. There is even a little of this in the Beta rules already. I think it is a great idea and keeps feats meaningful throughout a character's career.

My two suggestions/pleas whould be:

1) Do it consistently. If Acrobatic scales up, then Stealthy and all the other +2/+2 feats need to as well.

2) Do it uniformly. If one feat starts at +2, then goes to +3 at level 10 and +4 at level 10 while another starts at +2 but bumps at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20, that's confusing. They should all work the same. Maybe there could be groups - those that scale with BAB, those that scale with level, and those that scale with skill ranks. But within the group, they should all work the same.

Gary's solution is better.

Also, I agree with the post. Scaling feats are much more interesting, where they make sense.
