I'm making a character with the Exemplar prestige class, and have a bonus feat from the class that I don't know what to do with. The list of eligible feats includes all of the PHB skill-boosting feats, plus Blind-Fight, Combat Casting, Combat Expertise, Improved Initiative, Improved Swimming, Open Minded, Track, and Versatile Performer.
Ordinarily, I'd choose Improved Initiative from that list, but I already have an insanely high initiative modifier, enough to beat anything short of Celerity (and Imp. Init. won't help beat Celerity, either). Versatile Performer would give the most benefit in terms of just counting the number of plusses to the number of skills, but this character doesn't really have any particular use for Perform checks. Should I take one of the +2/+2 feats for skills I'm maxing, or should I go Open Minded and get five skill points to spend on my lower skills? Or something else?
