Nope, quite the opposite. I was trying to get AWAY from mechanics and look for some more 'in character' descriptions of Feats. Not what they MEAN again, but what they do, what they look like. Does a Yinkini always bite the back of your neck using 'Paralyzing Bite'? How does a Vingan get UP to the treetop to use 'Run Across Treetops'? Do you need phlegm to use 'Spit Down Wind'?

... or who have powers derived from the wind, like Orlanthi.

I hadn't noticed that Feat... nice one...

They might on a Complete Success...

No, it's just what I was talking about. It's NOT just 'I bid 7 AP'. But I still prefer Extended Contests. even if they do degenerate into AP fights.
