#1 zombiegleemax Nov 19, 2004 9:07:15	Did anyone "translate" the regional feats presented in the Players Guide to Faerun to Greyhawk regions? If so, would that someone kindly post his translation so lazy me doesn´t have to work it out myself? :D
#2 Mortepierre Nov 19, 2004 9:19:10	FYI Greyhawk has its own list of regional feats. It was published in Dragon Mag. issues # 315 and 319 ;)
#3 gm_wil Nov 19, 2004 10:29:38	- sorry - link won't work. I'll PM ya -
#4 zombiegleemax Nov 20, 2004 6:39:01	Thanks for the information! Now I´ll just have to get my hands on these Dragion issues..

It was published in Dragon Mag. issues # 315 and 319 ;) I wonder if they had something put in their coffee when they made Dragon #319. Just have a look at the erudite (why would anybody play a psion, then?) and the regional feat which gives you regeneration (1) like a troll. Which Class would not like to have that one?

It looks great until you notice you are fatigued whenever you are exposed to sunlight. Also there is a reason they are called REGIONAL feats, unless you are playing a barbarian campaign, I doubt there is a lot of characters that should have that feat.
#7 cwslyclgh Dec 10, 2004 15:28:17	I actaully dislike the regional feats as presented in PGtF, I much prefered the regional feat idea as presented in FRCS (and I believe that the Greyhawk regional feats in dragon are based upon those, because they came out long before PGtF did).
#8 zombiegleemax Dec 10, 2004 18:38:10	How are they different Wes?
#9 cwslyclgh Dec 10, 2004 18:54:42	in the PGtF version of region feats you can only ever have 1 regional feat, it has to be taken at 1st level, and they are MUCH more powerful then a standard feat. as opposed to the FRCS version... where you could always take one if you were from the specified region or had 2 or more ranks of local knowledge in a specific region (Exept for a few that specified that they could only be taken at first level in the feat) and you could have multiple regional feats. The regional feats in FRCS (except for the few that specified they had to be taken at first level) were generaly fairly well balanced against the existing feats in the PHB, and were regionalized for flavor reasons.
#10 zombiegleemax Dec 10, 2004 19:16:27	Interesting. I read a note about a change in design philosophy regarding these kind of feats in Dragon 315:64 (regarding ancestor feats).
#11 cwslyclgh Dec 10, 2004 23:16:07	indeed, it appears that WotC's current design philosophy would dictate that Flavor is not a valid reason to do anything.
#12 rilem Dec 17, 2004 13:47:13	It looks great until you notice you are fatigued whenever you are exposed to sunlight.... There are ways around that — Soldier's Rest item from Arms & Equipment, Horizon Walker, etc.. Though if you're starting from 1st level it'd be a concern. I haven't seen the feat in question (what region is it from) so I can't say if there would be other issues to it.
