“You get a lot of feats so why give out freebies” grinds really roughly against the reality that getting to play any campaign long enough to take advantage of that is quite the rarity. Give people the no brainer freebies so they can make actual cool choices.

I can see both perspectives, because the value those expertise feats give won't really come into play until the second tier of play anyway.

I agree that giving them as freebies to provide better choices for your players is a good idea. I also don't think it's that bad of a situation to not give them freely to players, who can always take those feats as one of their choices.

Ultimately it's just a matter of preference. I give them to my players, but if another DM didn't it's not the biggest deal.

Does Roll20 just not support 4e at all? I can't find how to add monsters. I'm pretty inexperienced at running on roll20 but it seems like basic things aren't there.

Not an answer to your question, but 4e runs very well on Foundry VTT. It takes some setup but once it's running it works great. You can read more at the D&D4e discord https://discord.gg/3jsz28fG

Fifty dollars is very steep and I'm very unemployed right now but I'll take a look. Thank you!

Understandable! If you get the chance to, the 4eDnD system for Foundry can be very useful. It manages automatic expiration of effects and abilities, automatically applies bonuses/penalties from effects, you can pull in powers/creatures/items/classes straight from a compendium, and more. I went ham setting mine up and it ended up working very well, if still a bit janky.

hey just wanted to say big thanks for this stuff here. I know it's old now but very helpful for letting me get my 4e campaign up off the ground.

Glad my videos could be helpful!!
