I've heard it referenced that a Cleric is to a Wizard and a FvS is to a Sorc. There are indeed many similarities between each analogous class, except one thing which I've always wondered about....

If Clerics "are to" Wizards, why do they get bonus feats, and we are feat starved?

I know the easy answer is that this game is based off of PnP, but I've read countless threads about how things have to differ somewhat in DDO due to the fact that it's live action, not turn based. Is there some game balancing reason as to why Clerics can't have bonus feats like Wizards that I'm missing?

I've also wondered the same about damage enhancement lines and crit chances, but that's more greed than need.
