So I'm curious, should a feat or prestige be designed to make a character, or should they be designed so a character has to be a certain way to take them.
What I mean is that feats and prestiges usually come with heavy prereqs. Some you might disagree with even. Wouldn't it make more sense if they gave bonuses to those things that your supposed to be good with to be the prestige, rather than require you to already be good with it? Would you rather take a feat that required 9 ranks in acrobatics to take, or one that required 9th level and gave you a +2 to acrobatics? I'm sure there are more examples, but its early and I'm not on the hunt.
I would think people would be more attracted to getting a bonus for taking the feat because it looks more attractive and is more accessible, but I thought I'd ask for other opinions.
tl;dr: Should there be less prereqs, more bonuses. Thoughts?
