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.

Feats
Toughness
Benefit: When you take this feat, you gain additional hit points. You gain an additional 5 hit points at each tier of play (at 1st, 11th, and 21st level). Additionally, increase your number of healing surges by two.
Underfoot
Heroic Tier: You can shift 1 square as a minor action provided you begin and end the movement adjacent to two enemies two or more sizes larger than you.
Paragon Tier: You can move through the space of a creature two or more sizes larger than you without provoking opportunity attacks from that creature. You don't provoke when you leave an adjacent square to enter the target creature's space, or when you leave the target creature's space to enter an adjacent square. You still provoke attacks from other creatures. You can't end your move in another creature's space.
