Toapat's Feats Thread (PEACH) (Eternal WIP) [3.5]

Prerequisite: Proficiency with the chosen weapon.
Benefit: Select a weapon you are Proficient with. For every +4 Base attack bonus you have, you gain +1 on attack rolls and +2 to damage rolls with the chosen weapon. At BAB +8, The critical Range of your chosen Weapon doubles. This improved Critical Range does not stack with Keen or Impact.

I don't see any problems with balance here. Measure of conviction really makes the paladin more viable than it is now.
Sweeping strikes is interesting. Perhaps what makes it really appealing is the feat chain it is part of. Unlike whirlwind attack it doesn't waste precious resources. I wonder if you shouldn't make the attack roll for it a single attack roll, because really it is one strike anyways.

Measure is lifted from a paladin homebrew previously that i no longer link to because i want to let the topic die so i can repost it. it wasnt a feat there

Sweeping strikes has been edited to require the same attack role, although i dislike how it cant be worded efficiently. I chose to stick it in Great Cleave's slot because honestly, Whirlwind attack has no logical reason for requiring 4 feats, of which none are really affordable if you arent a fighter. Not only that, but the feat of whirlwind attack itself is basically worthless if you arent fighting more guys then you are sacrificing number of itterative attacks to hit.

Im also not sure, but is sweeping strikes worded in a way that if you are SnBing a creature with a 3x3 footprint, do you hit it 3 times?

[eftexar]

Not exactly. You could hit your primary target once and then hit a 2x2 target beside that target twice though.
Though I think that's too much for a single feat (though I assume it was unintentional), maybe you could have another feat that actually allows something like that to be done?

[WyvernLord]

These are fun looking feats. Makes cleave a feat you'll consider now. Looking forward to more ideas that I can grab for my game.
Question how can you be exalted and still have smite good?

I thought Exaulted was the descriptor for smiting feats, ill change that.

i was considering adding in a clause that makes Measure grant a bonus feat to stop it from being a feat tax for paladins

Edit: Added Advanced Arms Training, general Feat Tax elimiator.

[Othesemo]

Under Measure of Conviction, you say

"Smite Evil, Smite Good, Smite Anarchy, and Smite abilities"

I assume that you mean to put Smite Axiomatic (or whatever the smite law ability is called) at the end, instead of just 'Smite', right?

Other than that, looks good. I'll definitely be following this thread.

Actually, i would have, If Smite Law existed. The feat is specifically not suposed to be able to effect cleric smiting, but it is suposed to effect all other types of smiting

[Othesemo]

Alright. In that case, I'd suggest putting in a footnote clarifying that, to prevent other people from assuming that it's a mistake.

[bobthe6th]

I like sweeping strike(last seen as part of the war mind, but better, and not needing 5 levels of a psionic class...)

I would suggest adding to advanced arms training that the crit range boost doesn't stack with keen and junk. the 9-20 crit master keen kukuri crit fisher is not a good goal.

the toughness plus seems to be right on power wise...

gonna do other feat reduxes? like say a new and actually good archery tree?

Didnt know i feated a class feature, Twice.

Scimi/rapier>Kukri, but ya, ill edit that in

Toughness Pro. and i know i kinda lifted that from somewhere, i think it was The Giant.

Most likely

[bobthe6th]

War mind is really easy to miss... I never read it until I got into core Colosseum. It is like a psionic warrior barbarian thingamy.

Eh, less TWF penalties, some other light weapon junk.

yes, it actually works as intended... rather then being a sad joke.

and a TWF redux would be really cool...

[toapat]

and a TWF redux would be really cool...

id just be stealing other people's work wholesale with one of those

[toapat]

added Overdrawn Control and Torque Draw, not sure if Overdrawn control is worded correctly.

[WyvernLord]

Question do you have some mobile fighting style feats to look at?

[toapat]

Question do you have some mobile fighting style feats to look at?

you mean like shot on the run and Spring attack? I have every 3.5 ed book except for Faiths and Pantheons

[WyvernLord]

Well your own take on them. The originals are both bland in comparison and suck.

[toapat]

Added Phalanx and Combat Expertise

[toapat]

Added Master Archer, Rapid Fire, and sniper's accuracy

[Othesemo]

You should probably specify that Aim applies to ranged attacks, and not to punching people (as I assume is the case because of the flavor text).

Combat expertise should require 13 Intelligence, not 13 Intellect.

Master Archer is in dire need of rewording. Is +5 Full Plate less than 'Total Cover?' if so, it's ignored. So it Displacement or Blink, if that's less than total concealment. Next, when you say 'You may move up to your full movement speed while firing a bow,' what do you mean? Do you mean that you can move while shooting (like shot on the run)? Finally, do size bonuses apply to bullrushes? What about to trip?

Phalanx needs the same clarification. Do you just make your attacks while moving? Can they all be against the same person? Do they need to be evenly spaced? Do you provoke an attack of opportunity while moving? Finally, you should specify the exact mechanics of this. I would suggest either something like this-


If you initiate a bullrush against an enemy, all allies adjacent to the enemy may make bullrush checks against that enemy as an immediate action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Regardless of who succeeds their bullrush check, the creature is moved as if you were the only creature attempting to bullrush it, and as if your bullrush check was equal to the highest check made between you and your allies.
or something like this-

If you initiate a bullrush against a creature, you may add the strength modifiers of all allies adjacent to the creature to your bullrush check.

As is, it's not entirely how one should mechanically resolve it.

Rapid Fire is similarly unclear. You should specify a few things- Is this extra arrow at your full bonus? Is it only during a full attack, or does it apply during a single attack as well? What if someone activates a belt of battle, or has a similar means of having multiple full attacks/single attacks in a round? Next, you should say "-2 penalty," not "the sacrifice of a +2 Bonus," as the latter will cause people to search around for the +2 bonus you're looking for. Next, you should specify whether this extra arrow gained by taking the -2 penalty functions as Multishot or Rapidshot.


Overall, these are some great ideas. Really, formatting is your only issue. If you'd like any help with phrasing what you'd like, feel free to ask.

Rapid fire is Rapid Shot+Manyshot, basically just to remove the penalty to accuracy for the rate of attack (most of the ranged feats are just combinations of other ranged feats to lighten feat taxes on archers, i intentionally removed the upper limit for the arrow spray)

Phalanx is supposed to be Spring attack, Great Cleave, and a Phalanx charge rolled together. The unified Bull rush is EXACTLY what I intended it to do.

Master Archery's worst section is lifted directly from Improved Precise shot. It also has Shot on the Run rolled in, and no, size modifiers do not apply, you are getting them so late that a -32 size modifier would be brutal.

Aim and Combat expertise: changed

Added Barrage

[toapat]

Added Strike of the Hydra, to eliminate that stupid Itterative Attacks stop at 4

[Othesemo]

I'm not certain how useful an attack at a -25 penalty is going to be in Epic levels. This is a time when adventurers can eat people's souls just by looking at them. Personally, I can think of a number of feats that I would prefer to have at epic levels. No offense, of course, it's just that its power level is a bit un-epic.

oh, right, i need to start sticking the free tax on this

also, considering how badly Improved Precise shot is inherently worded, an attack at -20/-25 would likely still hit, being that its upto the DM asto whether, as you pointed out, it appears to turn a bow into a ranged touch cannon that can bypass magic.

[toapat]

Edited wordings for clarity, added great cleave into Phalanx, and added Judgement, Titan's Warfare, and Wrath.

Added Two Weapon Fighting Feats, reorganized first post

[chrisrawr]

How does Sniper's Aim + Rapid Fire + Barrage interact with Woodland Archery and Blood in the Water (+4 to hit for each miss, +1 to Hit and +1 Damage for each Crit)

I'm just wondering because the way you have it worded, a Cragtop Archer can floor an entire army in 1 turn with (N+3) attack bonus and (N+1) damage bonus, and you're basically only limited by range to when to stop the killing...

Edit: or basically, Just Rapid Fire + Woodland Archery, if it matters; you literally machine-gun at least 1 person to death each turn, regardless of their health or DR...

no, because rapid fire only adds one extra attack, and unless you are rolling 20s all day, the additional arrows from Rapid Fire cost you attack bonus, the wording was just really, really off

[chrisrawr]

Worded much better now; Looks like a mixture of rapidshot and manyshot; Still incredibly powerful with Woodland Archery and Barrage together (as you can take a -10 penalty to the first shot, fire an additional 9 arrows, miss a bunch of them, and get N+4 to your next attack rolls etc)

Essnetially, since you haven't capped the Attack Penalty you can take, there is nothing to stop you from adding infinite arrows to your attack, getting infinite misses, and getting a +4infinite bonus to attack.

To be clear, the Woodland Archer feat has an option that does the following:
"Adjust for Range: To use this maneuver, you must shoot a projectile weapon against a foe and miss. Subsequent shots you take against that foe this round gain a +4 bonus, because you're able to quickly adjust your aim to compensate."

This bonus is untyped, and stacks; it's part of the bloodstorm blade / blood in the water / lightning maces build that creates N attacks.

[toapat]

Added Crazypower feats

[lsfreak]

Advanced Arms Training needs to explicitly lay out when the feat counts as what. As-is, you qualify as having all of those as soon as you take the feat.

No particular reason to cap Combat Expertise, if you want to limit it remove the cap at X BAB or limit it to BAB+X.

Aim should be rewritten and just eliminate Torque Draw/Brutal Throw/Overdrawn Control, as there's no point in ever taking them.

I don't get the first Barrage. You can already target different enemies at no penalty. You can also apply precision damage to all arrows/bolts already. As-is the feat does nothing.

Master Archer is possibly too good, split it into a movement one + a sunder/bullrush/trip one (personal preference would just be to houserule full attack + two moves as default for everyone). Any reason it doesn't have disarm either?

Rapid Fire needs clarification as to when it functions. Is it supposed to build off Rapid Shot as also adding a second attack at next-highest, or just let you loose a second arrow during a standard action attack, or what?

Sniper's Accuracy needs clarification about sacrificing attacks as well, because it says you can sacrifice them but not what you do with them.

I don't get how Cleave is tied into Phalanx Fighting, it's just thematically weird.

[Ignoring epic feats, cuz epic is lawlbroke]

Sweeping Strikes is unclear as to what happens when your first target also takes up the adjacent squares, or when one of those squares has 4 Tiny enemies in them. Wording should clarify yes is counts squares not enemies, or you should specify that you're targeting an additional enemy in each square.

Thematically opposed to Titan's Warfare, unsure on balance/whatever but it's at least better than Monkey Grip.

Is there a reason the Smiting feats don't affect cleric smites?

I'd unlink Judgment from your remaining smites, as it encourages you to never use them (really, I'd just make normal smites per encounter).

I'd reword Measure of Conviction, and just say they automatically get it at 1st or 6th level level, not that they pick it up for no cost. I'm also somewhat concerned at the nuking potential here.

Main Gauche versus shieldfighting is a concern, since as-is TWF is clearly superior in terms of raw AC. The followup attack on top of that...

Clarify with Two Weapon Assault a) that the rend attack also has your mainhand damage, and that you take/ignore normal TWF penalties; b) that you make as many attacks with each weapon as you'd normally make with your mainhand weapon.

Path of Sword and Spell simply needs rewording, it's not very clear right now.

Wording should clarify yes is counts squares not enemies, or you should specify that you're targeting an additional enemy in each square.

Thematically opposed to Titan's Warfare, unsure on balance/whatever but it's at least better than Monkey Grip.

Is there a reason the Smiting feats don't affect cleric smites?

I'd unlink Judgment from your remaining smites, as it encourages you to never use them (really, I'd just make normal smites per encounter).

I'd reword Measure of Conviction, and just say they automatically get it at 1st or 6th level level, not that they pick it up for no cost. I'm also somewhat concerned at the nuking potential here.

Main Gauche versus shieldfighting is a concern, since as-is TWF is clearly superior in terms of raw AC. The followup attack on top of that...

Clarify with Two Weapon Assault a) that the rend attack also has your mainhand damage, and that you take/ignore normal TWF penalties; b) that you make as many attacks with each weapon as you'd normally make with your mainhand weapon.

Path of Sword and Spell simply needs rewording, it's not very clear right now.

Advanced Arms Training specifically is worded to only turn on certain magnitudes of power ever X BAB.

Feat mod to remove stupid Pre-Requisites. Not to actually change it.

Torque Draw/Overdrawn Control are autogrants with the feat because they have to be in the game.

No, you cant. If you are using Manyshot, they all have to hit one dude. This is Improved manyshot, while Precision damage only applies to the first attack or first arrow with ranged weapons in a round.

Imp. Precise shot and Shot on the run. Both required ranged feats. Ranged also doesnt get manuevers like melee do, and i didnt know about disarm

Lazy wording was lazy. it is 1 BAB+1 Attack for 1 crit range. normal.

Great Cleave is required for a quality bullrush.

There is no point that i know of where a player can be surrounded on 8 sides by one enemy and still be able to perform normal melee attacks. The attacks hit in Squares the enemy does not occupy, although i never delt with the cheeze where an Orge on your left can allow you to hit the dragon in front of you twice. You have to declare a target and roll percentages for multiple enemies in a square.

Monkeygrip is useless as it is only as good as Exotic Proficience: Bastard Sword for what it was designed for.

Because clerics dont deserve smiting

Judgement is still a full round action. it was linked because a Per encounter ability isnt a smite, it is a judgement effect. Smiting is suposed to have meaning, and i give it better meaning in that way.

Broken feat is balanced by the classes who rightfully get smiting have no value for smiting.

Main Gauche caps out, even a buckler can exceed 11 AC RAW.

Two Weapon Rend only deals offhand damage, no idea why. why should you care though, you get full pounce.

Impossible to word feat is impossible to word. basically trade 1 BAB for 2 CL and 1 SL

Advanced Arms Training specifically is worded to only turn on certain magnitudes of power ever X BAB.
Only turn on at a certain BAB, yes, but you can count as having all those feats as soon as you take Advanced Arms Training. Don't know if this actually lets you get anything early, but you should clafiry just to be safe.


No, you cant. If you are using Manyshot, they all have to hit one dude. This is Improved manyshot, while Precision damage only applies to the first attack or first arrow with ranged weapons in a round.
Nothing about Rapid Fire leads it to the used with Manyshot, and nothing about its wording overwrites Manyshot's inherent limitations (it needs to be specifically called out). Also, there's already a Greater Manyshot (part of the Psionics portion of the SRD).


Imp. Precise shot and Shot on the run. Both required ranged feats. Ranged also doesnt get manuevers like melee do, and i didnt know about disarm
I'd hardly call Shot on the Run required, archers are far less movement-dependent than melee. Still, I misread it as moving twice, each time up to your normal movement, rather than a total of your normal movement.


Great Cleave is required for a quality bullrush.
I don't understand why.

This needs to be spelled out, then, because as-written you can hit multiple enemies if they're all in the same square, whether forced (grapple) or unforced (enemies small enough that they naturally fit multiples in a square).

What?


Judgement is still a full round action. it was linked because a Per encounter ability isnt a smite, it is a judgement effect. Smiting is suposed to have meaning, and i give it better meaning in that way.
Wait, full-round action? There's nothing in there about that. And making Judgment linked to Smite doesn't make Smite have meaning, it makes it less likely to ever be used, because you won't risk using up both your Smites and Judgments unless it's a boss fight. If you're trying your hardest not to use it, that doesn't make it meaningful.


Broken feat is balanced by the classes who rightfully get smiting have no value for smiting.
This feat + Two Weapon Assault is a lot of extra damage in a single round, that's my point. You don't make something sub-par better by making it either weak or overpowered, you smooth it out (Judgment helps that, flat turning smites into per-encounter levels it even more, but it sounds like you don't like that).


Main Gauche caps out, even a buckler can exceed 11 AC RAW.
A dagger with Main Gauche gives 2 + 1/4BAB. A heavy shield + Improved Bash only gives 2.


Two Weapon Rend only deals offhand damage, no idea why. why should you care though, you get full pounce.
The way you've worded it, it's a standard action that does nothing but offhand damage. My guess is you're missing an "extra" before the "damage."

No, you are not reading that feat right at all, at lvl 20, for a fighter, it is +5 Attack, +10 damage, 2x critical range

Rapid Fire replaces Manyshot.

Shot on the Run is manditory for any ranger fix and manditory for the scout's skrimish ability to be usable.

Without Great cleave, a pounce can only have 2 attacks in it.

no, it cant. it is writen that the square has to be adjacent to the one you are attacking and that an enemy is in. enemies too small to take up a full square as a result can hide from your blows by hugging eachother.

Clerics are the preachers of a faith. Favored Souls write the faith. Paladins fight for the Faith. Clerics shouldnt get smiting because they get full spell casting.

Standard action. Judgement was worded to suck, hard. No measure of conviction, half the power of a regular smite.

and a Barbarian with a Greatsword, pounce, and mighty rage matches that damage without breaking into homebrew.

Main Gauche does not get weapon modifiers to armor or guards. the only reason it even scales is to somewhat match the shield.

Two Weapon Rend is very easy to read as a completely different feat that sucks. Edited to correct the feat

[lsfreak]

No, you are not reading that feat right at all, at lvl 20, for a fighter, it is +5 Attack, +10 damage, 2x critical range
The problem is, you take Advanced Arms Training at level one, and now you qualify for anything that requires Greater Weapon Specialization. At level one. Not at BAB12, like I assume you intended.


Rapid Fire replaces Manyshot.
That's not clear at all. If you've removed Manyshot as an available feat, you need to make it clear that "This feat replaces Manyshot" and describe what the feat does itself, not what it does in reference to Manyshot. If it's meant to improve upon Manyshot after Manyshot's already taken, a) it needs Manyshot as a prereq and b) that feat already exists, better.


Shot on the Run is manditory for any ranger fix and manditory for the scout's skrimish ability to be usable.
Sorry, yea, forgot scouts. Somehow.


Without Great cleave, a pounce can only have 2 attacks in it.
What? You're making no sense. A phalanx is a line of spears defended by shields. What does that have to do with cleaving, was my point, and then you brought up cleaving improving bullrushing? And now what does cleaving have to do with pounce?


no, it cant. it is writen that the square has to be adjacent to the one you are attacking and that an enemy is in. enemies too small to take up a full square as a result can hide from your blows by hugging eachother.
It can't target your main target twice, but it can target multiple enemies in a single square. As written, it's targeting anything in the square, not an enemy. You need to rewrite it to be more clear if you mean to limit it to a single target, because right now if 4 grigs are in the square next to a nymph, you can hit the nymph and sweeping-strike all 4 grigs (and still hit something on the other side of the nymph, too).


Clerics are the preachers of a faith. Favored Souls write the faith. Paladins fight for the Faith. Clerics shouldnt get smiting because they get full spell casting.
Different playstyles/class ideas then.


Standard action. Judgement was worded to suck, hard. No measure of conviction, half the power of a regular smite.
So you made a feat that's intended to suck?
Judgment hurts Smite, not helps it, at least not until levels where Measure of Conviction really starts to make a difference. Reliable, all-day Judgment is just better than once-and-it's-gone Smite, especially when using that Smite gets rid of your reliable Judgment as well. Once you're sitting a 3-4 attacks, then Smite starts to get worthwhile, but until then having Judgment means Smite will likely be unused except for oh-**** moments. And once you do get those level of attacks, makes Judgment a less and less useful feat.
Make Smite per-day and Judgment per-encounter, unlinked to how many Smites you have left, and it'll be great.


Main Gauche does not get weapon modifiers to armor or guards. the only reason it even scales is to somewhat match the shield.
That still leaves a simple dagger + support feat being better on the defense and offense than a shield + support feat. Yes, shields can take more feats to make them better and shields get AC from magic faster. Just pointing out that a shield is strictly inferior to an offhand weapon for early levels with this, and making up a feat for shields would probably be worthwhile.


Two Weapon Rend is very easy to read as a completely different feat that sucks.
My point is you need to reword it to be clearer, because it doesn't say you deal normal mainhand + offhand damage + offhand damage again, it only mentions the bonus offhand damage.

ah, now i get what you are saying, no, although i didnt name all the feats, the entire weapon focus line is suposed to be replaced, and so there shouldnt be any problems

The archery feats were done as a total rebuild, that is why nearly all of them are combination feats.

The Feat i made was the offensive push of a phalanx, not the defensive shield wall. In order to effectively use the Dungeoncrasher fighter, you need Great Cleave, Improved Bull Rush, Pounce, Shock Trooper, and Spring Attack.

In the example, you hit the ogre as your main target, i get that it has problems.

Charging Smite

I havent gotten Around to the Shield version, which is basically the same counter ability, but grants a free Attack of Opportunity
