05-04-06, 01:13 AM I'm new to FR and this is basic so I wanted to make sure I was clear. When you choose your region for a new character, you have access to the regional feats, but they still cost you one of your original feat slots correct? Or is it like the starting equipment packages in that it is a bonus from your area? If it isn't a bonus, do power gamers really ever use them?

Thanks

Yes, many people use them, either for flavour or power or both. Most are a bit stronger than the average feat, hence the regional restriction.

05-04-06, 08:50 AM I've always regarded Regional Feats as a bonus feat at first level, since you spent a good part of your life in that place, one tends to be changed by the circumstances of one's life. It like when a character is in it's own city, even if it doesn't have any rank in knowledge(city) s/he still knows a couple of things.
