Tell a story about feats that rarely ever come into play.
I suppose I could start. I'm not coughing up blood anymore.
Well, I made this elf, right? And he had a trait/feat combo that rarely came into play. The first was the trait cannibal. He wouldn't eat other elves, and he almost never killed people for food, but he had a bad habit of nibbling on corpses.
The feat was just a standard elven feat I call Doe Eyed. A flat +4 to seducing sheep.
For some reason, the party objected to him indulging in his racial heritage. And by racial heritage, I mean buggering sheep, and pretending to be a crime scene investigator, casually eating bits of the bodies while he pointed out evidence and used deductive reasoning.
Point taken, I should have come up with a snappy name, but cannibal came to mind at the time, despite the fact that the idea was "any dead non elf is food."
One of the best feats in D&D 3.5 in my opinion is Elusive Dance, in Dragon Magazine 333. It lets you desginate a target like dodge, but it makes them unable to make Attacks of Opportunity at you. Only requirement is 5 ranks in Perform (dance), and it's on the fighter bonus feat list to boot.
Only thing resembling a drawback is that if you actually have dodge, both feats have to target the same dude. But you don't need to have the dodge feat, so it's all good by my book.
I'm playing in a Pathfinder campaign, (the "Rise of the Runelords" adventure path to be specific)and as a Sylph I can take a couple of racial feats related to the air-elemental heritage I have.
Now a few of them are really cool and powerful (like the one that gets me a permanent fly speed) a couple of the others are slightly more niche (like the one that gives me a bonus to saves with the air or electricity descriptors, this one's a prereq for the fly speed one which is why I have it.)
When we were trapped in the evil temple with a permanent magical fog that made any of us except the blind Oracle (with blindsense) unable to see 5 feet, I wished I had picked up the one that triples the distance I can see through magical fog.

Seems to be the default explanation for every time the GM needs to subvert Luffy being broken as fuck.

To be fair, that was Luke answer as to how Luffy was able to do all kind of weird things in the begining of the game.

But I thought elves only ate sentient creatures they had personally slain in combat, to justify causing the death of one of nature's creatures.

And wouldn't never eating elves (his own race) mean he wasn't a cannibal?

That seems kind of wasteful. Elves would be just as nutritious, wouldn't they?

Feats are like phone aps. There is one for everything.

And both are subject to the problem of wading through the morass to find the one you want.

How About the half-elf feat line that removes their subtypes? That's nifty as all hell

He also played Joseph Joestar in the 90s JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVA.
