I'm thinking of starting a Pathfinder Forgotten Realms campaign for my group. I have a good amount of 3.x books for Forgotten Realms and always liked the Regional feats and such.
But spending a feat seems like a big investment just to "belong" (I know they offer other things, but still), so was thinking of allowing players to either pick two traits or one regional feat at character creation. I think two traits are slightly more powerful than one feat, but so are the regional feats, so the power of the character should be roughly the same.
Any thoughts?
Thats a good strategy. I prefer seeing the traits because they tend to tie the characters to regions better.
Of course a sneaky DM would require some sort of written background before the traits would activate.
