Best Feats of 3.5

[Coidzor]

<facepalm> Crap, that's what I forgot when transferring this from my Word document... because I mainly play with my Giants and Graveyards houserules, and this started off as a utility for me, I wanted to include text about them. It was read in my Word doc, but got lost in the transition. I think one of my G&G-specific sections got tangled with the normal PHB feats, too. I'll fix some now, and deal with the G&G-specific text later on.

Ahhh. OK. That's gotta be pretty annoying.

I deliberately didn't include most prerequisite feats because, well, they're prerequisites. They're things you're forced to take, while this list is things you want to take. It's not a complete list, admittedly, but it's everything I could find from the books I have access to.

I support your reasoning here. Being a prerequisite doesn't make a feat good. Having prerequisites can make a feat less good though, because the cost of taking it can come to be more than the value it actually gives.

I'm going to ignore the complete feats, but let's talk about the PHB feats... these ratings are going to be very campaign dependent.

In some campaigns, CRAFT X feats are worthless, in other campaigns the CRAFT X feats are AWESOME.

Yep. Crafting is one of the more campaign dependent things one can (try to) do.

Also where is Point Blank Shot? Nearly every archer has that feat.

That's because Point Blank Shot is a terrible, terrible feat that is worse than Weapon Focus. Weapon Focus!

Every archer has that feat because they're required to have that feat to get access to things like Precise Shot so they can shoot into melee or Rapid Shot so they can get off more shots in a round without having 2 levels in Ranger.
