Improved Defenses is strictly superior to Robust Defenses. Robust Defenses is an obsolete feat.
As an added advantage, Improved Defenses can be taken at any tier (and probably should).
Ah, didn't catch that one.
When stuff like "Forgotten Realms" and "Heroes of Such-as-such" come out, I don't get them, as they seem to be specific to a campagin setting. But PH1,2,3, DMG1,2,3, I try to pay attention to.
Do they use all books, including campaign settings, to "fix" things (such as adding new Feats or rules that are needed)?

HotFL and HotFK were not campaign settings; they were the Essentials equivalents of the PHB.

Ah, ok. It was my understanding (which I admit is limited in this regard) is that Essentials was a sort-of attempt to make a "sort of 4.5e, but not really 4.5e" which ultimately is not compatible with 4e PH. Is this true, or am I dead wrong?

Not dead wrong, but mostly wrong. It's completely compatible with the 4e PHB, but the "sort of 4.5e, but not really 4.5e" is somewhat accurate.

You're dead wrong. The Heroes Of -- books are 100% compatible with 4e. They are additional material, not a half-edition in any way.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

Well, I'm not sure I agree with that, a lot of what it added was half-classes.

Which work perfectly well on tables with classes from earlier books, and supply material varying from utility powers to all powers, which are compatible with classes from earlier books.
What more do you want?

Also, Epic NAD feats aren't Feat Taxes in the slightest. They're powerful because they stack, but even an Optimized Defender can usually find better things to spend feats on than taking all 3.

I'd change the final "s" to a "d" and drop two other letters.
