4e:Metric System

The Metric System is an overhaul of the feat system, completely replacing all existing feats and changing the level progression advancement structure. When a character would gain a feat under the previous system, it now alternates between feats and talents. Feats are primarily combat-orientated, talents are primarily skill-orientated.

Every level 1 character begins with 1 feat and 1 talent.
