Forgotten Feats

Revising Feats
Feats are a great way to make a character feel special,
as well for its combat style as for its general flavor
and personality.
However, players seem to always
choose the same few feats, while the others remain
forgotten in most campaigns. Indeed, some feats are
clearly stronger than others, and this revised version
is mostly meant to give more appeal to those "lesser
feats".
