Instead of everything being a feat could we change the word depending on what it's associated with?
As it stands, the various charts showing what the classes gain per level seem to have the term "feat" every two or three words.
Perhaps something like:
Ancestral Trait
Background Training
Class Ability
General Feat
Skill Specialty
It would make it so that there's not 2,000+ instances of the word "Feat" in the rulebook.
An overabundance of terms is explicitly one of the reasons they changed everything to "feat."
It helps me understand what is going on with the character, so I'm glad they use feats when they mean feats.
And Traits, as they appear in the Playtest, could be referred to as "Qualities" or something instead.
But then there's already "Qualities" in the book... they could become "Grade". (Especially since you "upgrade" an item rather than "upquality" an item.) :D
I feel like if all these things use precisely the same rules except when called out with their specific name, then an "adjective noun" construction" is the best one.
Like the only rules difference between "a class feat" and "a general feat" is "when you are allowed to select one".
