[3.5] Requesting TIM guide feat suggestions

[Ammutseba]

Despite not currently running the campaign, I'm making a pdf guide for the Test of Ice and Mettle, information for which can be found here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?424679-Test-of-Ice-and-Mettle-3-5-1-player-needed&p=19466224#post19466224). To help players avoid trap feats and find the good ones, a section of the pdf will be dedicated to suggested feats, including simple adaptations of feats that would be good if they were changed just a little to mesh more with the campaign setting (with a subsection listing the names of traps). However, I'm not intensely familiar with the limits of the options available in 3.5, so I would to ask for your suggestions. If feasible, I'd like also to include a subsection of homebrew feats, since the campaign allows limited homebrew, so if you have any of those to recommend, they are welcome here.

So far, I've read through Book of Exalted Deeds, Book of Vile Darkness, Cityscape, Dungeonscape, Frostburn, Sandstorm and Stormwrack. Next, I will be working my way through Complete: Adventurer, Arcane, Champion, Divine, Mage, Psionic, Scoundrel and Warrior.

For some reason I thought this thread was about the Fireball throwing Enchanter from Monty Python fame .

Here's an update. :| I'm pretty sure I've gone through every book I have the patience to. Also, no one suggested anything, so I'm going to list the names of all the feats I put in the alpha list here in this post. I would like to ask you, or anyone who is willing, to go through the list and let me know
a) which ones are bad, but could be quickly fixed with a small change (and what the change is) and;
b) which ones are terrible and should be removed.
Please forgive the unusual tags. There are a couple renames, too. Sand > snow; rage > berserk; courage > protection; gnome > vril. Without further ado, several spoilers filled with feat names:

Please help. Please.

This seems far too broad to be feasible, unless you really just want to hit the highlights, in which case the work has already been done for you in the various guides and handbooks for 3.5.

[Ammutseba]

The highlights? How do you mean?

The highlights? How do you mean?

As in only talk about the very best and the very worst and the very weirdest.

[Grod_The_Giant]

I've got you covered (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?400603-Best-Feats-of-3-5).

[Ammutseba]

So you do, and that is tremendous of you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
