If your players like sitting around and listening to stories, you could give them myths that they could "mine" for feats. Or let them create their own myths for feats they want to use -- which might be a lot of work for an Initiate improvising, but you gotta pay somehow. You could even do it after the fact -- "sure you can use that feat; come to the next session with a short myth of how Barntar Found the Geese after Eurmal's Horrible Grain Scattered Them."
