03-31-07, 12:36 AM I believe I read somewhere, or maybe I just imagined it and if thats the case I'm wasting my time.... anyways, Is there a way to replace a feat you took at a low level when you gain a new level?

Example: Rogue takes dodge as their 1st level character feat. Rogue attains level 2 and decides she wants to change it to Point Blank Shot now that he/she meets the requirements of BaB +1 which he/she didn't have at 1st level... any possibility?

03-31-07, 12:49 AM Yes, it's in the Player's Handbook 2, I believe it's called 'retraining' (though I could be wrong about the title). At the DM's discretion, you can change one feat or class ability when you level up.

However, in the spirit of the rules, this is supposed to allow you to modify a character that isn't working well, rather than as a deliberate ploy to chop and change according to your level advancement.

03-31-07, 12:51 AM I agree with you on the spirit of the rules but It was the fastest example I could think of. Thanks for the speedy response.

04-04-07, 04:56 PM There is a psionic power that will replace feats. It's call Psychic Reformation and is detailed in the Expanded Psionics Handbook on page 127. Our DM has allowed PCs to find a vendor that will use the psionic power on you for a fee. The vendor takes the XP hit for you.

Very Munchkin, but it does exist.

04-04-07, 05:00 PM Under retraining rules, IIRC, the 2 being swapped had to have been accesible to the character at that time, so in this case the proposed swap wouldn't work.

04-26-07, 11:17 PM Ha ha, Psychic Reformation is SO begging to be errata'ed.

So, if I'm an 11th level character, and I want to change my first level feat, then I have to pay 500xp? Dang.

On the other hand, you're telling me I can rechoose all of my skills, feats, and powers, all the way back to first, for a mere 500xp? Word!

There REALLY ought to be a more nuanced system than that built into Psychic Reformation.
