Just got word back. They do not want me to release any content they're very already paid for, though I am free to homebrew any stuff I'd like, of course.

Does that mean you could post those feats in the homebrew section? Not in PDF form or whatever, just like a thread "Herid's Homebrew" or something.

Nah, more like I could put up the feats that I'd like to have designed but didn't even try (e.g. paragon and epic feats, feats for classes that weren't in 3.x). I'll see what I can do in that regard if I have time tomorrow.

The following feats are the sort of feats I'd have made if I had unlimited word count and knew that what I wrote would go in relatively unchanged. Since this is CharOp and not an actual article, please forgive me for poor feat names and a lack of flavor text. (I'd also worry a bit more about feat wording, but all of these should be clear enough in their effects).

Hobgoblin Fortitude - Prereq:11th level, hobgoblin, hobgoblin resilience racial power; You gain a +2 feat bonus to all saving throws. In addition, when you save against an effect or end an effect with hobgoblin discipline, you do not suffer any of its aftereffects.
