Tactical Feats(3.5)

[sambouchah]

What are the most useful and powerful Tactical Feats? I know Shock Trooper seems to be a favorite choice but what are some other good ones?

Thanks for input, Sam

You have elusive target: negates power attack from oponents, make flankers hit each other, free trip vs foes thay miss an AOO against you.

Gloomrazor from ToB: a lot to explain here, but if you have concealment and move constantly its like you are invisible most of the time.

Shadowstriker: for beguilers, spellthiefs, assassins. foes cant attack you if you dont attack them, if an ally threatens an oponent you catch them flatfooted. Get the Darkstalker feat and you can catch of guard any creature.

Einhander (personal favourite): +2 ac if you have a free hand, +2 to tumble checks, after a full attack action you make a sleight of hand check to feint.
Its a nice combo if you play a Scarlet corsair, since you can feint as a swift action, (1d4cooldown), fullattack, use einhander feint, fullatack.

The best ones I can think of are, in no particular order: Gloom Razor, Stormguard Warrior, Elusive Target, Combat Brute (in a game without lots of magic weapons), Shards of Granite, Confound the Big Folk, and Clarion Commander.

I like Combat Brute. I go in and sunder magic weapons with an admantium great sword then get a free attack! The other moves are useful but require more setup. People are always opposed to sundering, because you destroy treasure but I always thought what the heck, its fun.

Don't forget about Woodland Archer in Races of the Wild, and Residual Magic from Complete Mage.

[Big Fau]

The Devoted Spirit and Iron Heart tactical feats are excellent, if tricky to use.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Shards of granite is weird (good weird though), it is definitely oriented towards two handed fighters, but it's main benefit (Bypassing DR) is much more useful to multi attackers.
