From my point of view feats are the mess that killed 3E, and even in 4E they are too many and they cause the biggest unbalance. There are some not used feats and there are "must have" feats.Levels, races,I expect I'm a minority in this, but I think feats should be almost universally cordonned off into specific, limited areas.
