 == Stolen Ideas Worth Contemplating ==
-===Everything Is A Feat===
-* all class features, racial traits, skill proficiencies, etc, are expressed as separate lists of feats.  At each level, you are told which list you can choose an ability from.
-:* even class capstone abilities come from a list of feat-like choices, just for the capstone; this allows players to choose a capstone that best fits their build and background.
-:* character class design becomes more object-oriented; you can easily add new abilities to a class without breaking anything (assuming the new ability is appropriately scaled).
-:* allows far more variety between any two characters of the same class, and a reason to play the same class more than once.
-:* could still give each class specific flavors, since they usually don't share their lists with anyone else.  The monk could still have a ki pool mini-game, with a list of ki abilities they can slowly expand upon. etc.
-:* not as confident that spells should be part of this. I'd probably make it more along the lines of metamagic feats.
-::* some danger of same-iness between classes, without careful planning.
