Flavour feats are spllt up into groups. Minor and Major. A charecter may take one minor flavour feat for every two class levels he has, but may only take major feats at creation and when transitioning into a new tier.

The idea is to add a level of creativity to 4E without granting unfair advantages. The minor feats should grant the advantage of a cantrip level spell, whereas a major should be just a bit more powerful than a normal feat.

I have a rough Idea for seven different "schools" which each have around ten feats. I have another 30-40 misc feats sort out.

Minor:

Utility.

Medic

Your always patching up your friends. Fixing a few swords wounds is nothing compared to taking splinter out of them.

You may spend a healing surge to allow any ally adjacent to you to gain half a healing surges worth of health.

Outside of combat you gain a +2 bonus to heal checks relating to fixing wounds.

Rockskipper: At will power

You are really good at throwing rocks. Your mother should be so proud of you.
As a standard action you may throw a rock.
The range you can throw a rock is equal to your strength value.
You may bounce the rock off of a number of walls equal to your dexterity modifier.
If a rock hits a creature roll a d20. A natural one or twenty damages for 1d6. This increases to 2d6 at level 11, and 3d6 at level 21.

Pyromaniac Encounter power.

Everyone knows you as the crazy pyromaniac. Your reputation is well deserved. At least you don't have a smoking habit.

You can create a fire instantly from mudane materials. Anything that is flammable can be lit by you as if you used flint or a torch.

Once per encounter you may choose to set an opponent on fire. Once per encounter, to an enemy you hit with a melee attack you may apply 1d6 fire damage. The opponent become dazed if he does not make a DC 10 fortitude save.

Desperation Daily Power

Your lack of willpower when It comes to your addictions is legendary. Your need for a fix is so strong you can actually summon the item, once a day from the plane of chaos.

Once per day you may summon an item of value no more than 25gp, and which could fit in the palm of ones hand. However, the item being make of pure chaos will explode in the presence of lawful, causing 1d4 damage per lb of material. To establish when the material will expload roll a 1d2. On a roll of 1 the material explodes. You may not take 2 on this roll.

Tavern Brawler Passive

The amount of tavern brawls you have attended is mindbogglingly large. You can incapitate a man in twenty diferent ways with a spoon, and you mastery of the battle saucepan is legendary.

Whilst wielding furnishings or cutlery you no longer suffer the -4 to attack these weapons normally incur.

Proforming: Irritating Artist Daily Power
Your ability to murder your art is either from years of intensive study, or extraplanar intervention. People don't just play you to stop, they pay
