Ok, so I guess you can all pick a feat retroactively, then. Any feat that gives a minor numerical bonus to a save or a skill (or several), and doesn't scale. Which excludes the new and improved Weapon Focus, and also Skill focus in its new and improved scaling form. Improved Initiative isn't half as useful in PbP in PvM play, so if you must have it, you may take it. Not sure about PvP, probably it could be stronger there.... hmmm.
If you have something you would like to take which you feel unsure about, ask me. If it's one of those which noone ever takes except to make the prereqs for a PrC, I'm likely to allow it.
