To all, I have a priest who will be 7th level (as soon as I give XP). He is the brains, heart and soul the party. He also has big plans. As a DM I try to allow my players some leg-room when it comes to their creativity and inventiveness, I give additional XP to PCs who actively try to overcome problems, compared to those who sit at the table and wait for their turn before contributing.

Anyway, we have talked about retraining feats, but some have prerequisites. The discussion of creating magic items is actively discussed. I though of maybe having my priest creating magical items replicating feats. As an adventrer magical items creation feats are needed but not helpful when fighting evil priests with armies of undead at the party's heels.
