Feat Balancing

As an alternative to changing powers, the following feats can be added. Each variant of Commanding Presence gains one of these feats for free. This makes all the power variants below except Window of Opportunity obsolete.

I had a lot of ideas on how to add this to the game, the feat/presence variant is just one way --Starfox 11:49, 9 January 2009 (CET)
