#1 Kahless Jun 13, 2015 16:01:02	So reading through the DMG, I saw one of the rewards that could be given is training, one option of which is  feat. The extra inspiration and the tool proficiency options seem rather good (inspiration is limited duration; tool proficiency is limited applicability), but giving out a feat seems it might be unbalancing. What is a feat "worth" in terms of XP and treasure? Would that break a character?
