Feats are my least favorite part of 3e+ and the #1 reason I'm trying to quit Pathfinder! So bloated.

@andy I’d be curious to hear your opinion on a game that completely removes classes/class abilities for characters defined entirely by “feats” instead of classes (especially considering I know you’re interested in #OSR/#NSR type stuff). The question being, is it feats that are the issue, or feats + classes/class abilities?

I'm unsure what you mean, could you rephrase the question?

My thoughts on class-less feat-based systems? Not sure I'm familiar with any.

@andy @DMWolffy it’s sort of a hypothetical, because to my knowledge that system doesn’t currently exist. The closest would be #StarsWithoutNumber, which has three classes but most character differentiation comes from foci (basically more impactful feats).

To rephrase the question though: is your issue with open-ended character building through feats, or with the complexity that feats bring to a system that already has a pretty complex class system?
