I think there is a very thin line to walk here.
I'm all for feat examples, but they have to be
loaded with disclaimers "these are just examples,
please come up with your own effects" all over
the place. Otherwise too many players _will_ read
the descriptions as constraints: "this and only
this is what you can do with Swordhelp".
That said, write up your feat examples and mail
them to me and I'll make a place for them on the
web site.
