Survivability and new life for old feats

[crazycaren]

I was taking a feat today and noticed, again, how many feats there are that I never use. The game has just outgrown their benefits. Overall I suggest moving to a percentage rather than a flat rate. That will scale better with level, with build foci and with ongoing changes to the game.

With survivability in mind, here are some suggestions.

Name old suggested
Acrobatic +2 jump and tumble +5% jump and tumble
Alertness +2 listen and spot +5% listen and spot
Athletic +2 balance and swim +5% balance and swim
Bullheaded +2 Intim, +1 will save +5% Intim, +5% will save
Discipline +2 concentration, +1 will save +5% concentration, +5% will save
Great fort +2 fort save +15% fort save
Iron will +2 will save +15% will save
Luck of heroes +1 all saves +10% all saves
Negotiator +2 diplo and haggle +5% diplo and haggle
Resilience +4 to all saves but spells have 3x normal cooldown +15% to all saves but spells have 3x normal cooldown
Resist poison +4 to saves vs poison +15% to saves vs poison
Self sufficient +2 heal and repair +5% heal and repair
Snake blood +1 reflex, +2 saves vs poison +15% reflex, +2% saves vs poison
Stealthy +2 hide and move silently +5% hide and move silently

Heck, I might even use some of those new versions!

I don't know about percentages, but doing a feat pass would have gone a long way to helping melee or any other play style. This is the kind of thing I keep talking about. Overdue passes.

I don't know about percentages,

I do know percentages lol, and one stand out is 5% jump vs 2 jump... it would take 40 jump (the soft cap) for 5% to yield 2, so this is a nerf.

I do agree all of these feats need improvement though.
