Archetype Past Life Active Feats

[dgtgtd]

The archetypes could use some active feats like the main classes get. For example, druid gets access to a character level based flame blade. That one would potentially make the Blightcaster an easy one if it goes down a similar route by granting a character level based Thorn Blade. Not sure what the active feats for the other archetypes should offer, but this seems like it would be relatively easy to do, and as a long time player it feels like it would make sense to offer.

No one really takes the existing active pl feats though except wiz for the dc

I think it'd be too easy to either be wasting time on a feature no one will use...or if they're actually good enough to take, they'd be even more power creep in heroic...

What I think would be good and fitting for archetypes is if they changed some aspect of existing gameplay without significantly strengthening it, so you could create new combinations from existing builds:

Fist: favored weapons are considered centering
DA: your Fire spells and any abilities that scale on Fire power now do Evil damage instead, and function fully as Alignment spells
SS: as above, but Electric to Sonic
BC: as above, but Acid to Piercing
DH: you are always considered wearing Medium armor (ie no evasion, uncentered, no mrr cap, unlocks enhancements) and take half damage from traps
