edit: changed Full-round actions to move actions...ooo
Edut2: added the Heat of Battle Effect

[Nebo_]

I'd rather just cast flameblade and take a feat that didn't eat all my actions...

[Altharis]

...And I'd rather only have to buy the wepon I was going to use (i.e. for Prereqs "One Masterwork Druid Weapon" instead of "All Masterwork Druid Weapons", and have this feat in your other thread.

But still, another good feat from you, Tialait.

[Lady Tialait]

Maybe i should have posted it in my other thread when i finish winter and autum i'll post it on this thread.

as for the useing all your actions i'm thinking of changing it to move action. whatchathink?

the word 'or' means only one..i guess i was misunderstood suggestions for another wording?

[Lady Tialait]

sorry for DUbble post but I have another feat...woo

What ya think?

[Nebo_]

as for the useing all your actions i'm thinking of changing it to move action. whatchathink?

Honestly, none of these are powerful enough to warrant them lasting for less than a minute. I'd give them all, say, a ten minute casting time and have them last all day.


During this sleep they gain Hit points back as full bed rest

Four months sleep gives you the same benefit as one night?

[Lady Tialait]

Honestly, none of these are powerful enough to warrant them lasting for less than a minute. I'd give them all, say, a ten minute casting time and have them last all day.

ummm...no...the problem with that is it goes against my idea for the flavor. if this feat works like it should the weapon will get more and more fiery as the battle goes on. that is why i changed it to move actions. The low durations of it is so i can do more with it. Also a Ranger could take this feat and not even know some powerful attack spells. The feats do have druidic flavor but are really ment to go on Rangers.

I'm thinking of upping the ante or lowering the costs. but not the durations.


Four months sleep gives you the same benefit as one night?

teehee...no I meant EACH day sleeping is full bed rest...wrote that half asleep...*slaps my own hand* bad druid..no cookies

[Umarth]

If you want them used in combat I'd switch them to taking a swift action each round to charge it up rather than a move action.

These arn't better than iterative attacks.

[Lady Tialait]

If you want them used in combat I'd switch them to taking a swift action each round to charge it up rather than a move action.

considered it need more input to decide one way or the other

[Nebo_]

Move action are still actions. Charging these things up takes too long and doesn't give nearly enough benefit to even consider taking the feat.


The low durations of it is so i can do more with it.

That confuses me. A lot.

It needs a longer duration or to be a lot more powerful to be worth taking a feat for, not to mention all those actions...

[Lady Tialait]

Move actions are pretty fair as far as i can see. sense you can still cast a few spells. if i went down to swifts it would be a little bit over powered to me. not that this feat is gunna go all the way to the third tier very often.

As for casting a feat. it's more powerful then Weapon Focus as far as i can see. and it scales. that is what i measure a feat against. Weapon Focus..atleast a battle feat.

[Nebo_]

You just don't get enough out of this feat for the amount you put into it. One point of fire damage is weak. Dealing fire damage instead of normal damage is weak. Flaming burst is weak. There are spells that do this and better for less casting time and that last for longer.

[Suzuro]

I really like the flavor of these feats, but I do have a few qualms.


For one, you won't be able to get the higher ones until a higher level obviously, and for ranger, rather than spending the three move actions to use this, it would seem like it would be better to just use those rounds for full attacks.

Now, this is just my opinion, but I think that the time it takes is good, Swift action is simply too good, but they should be increased slightly in power.

Best of luck with these.

i've never had problems with fire damage being to too weak. I see this Rites of Summer being used by charitors who want to use fire in some other way. and I had this feat added to a campaign i've been running and the effect was nice..they must get it to the second tier to do this but...they simply have the psion use 'control flame' to enjoy...also I think Swift will be just about right..but i'm afraid it will feel overpowered. I am having problems

Flaming Burst is not weak..ever...Flaming Burst is a +2 ability that makes your critical extra powerful (druids crit alot..scimitar anyone?) and it has an automatic 1d6 damage....As for all your damage being fire..that means it gets past all DR..in addition it deals Lethal damage to alot of Regenerators. in addion you can do double damage to mummies and Treants...there is alot of use...and you have a chance of dealing DoT...so no I don't see that as weak..yes 1 extra fire is weak and perposly so. it's do able from level 1

[Fenix_of_Doom]

so no I don't see that as weak..yes 1 extra fire is weak and perposly so. it's do able from level 1

I don't know, last time I started a level 1 character I didn't have 25 gold left, leave alone I could regularly spend it so I could do a whole 1 extra damage, then again this feat isn't useful at all in most situations so it might not come up. Honestly this feat would only be worth it if the addition was permanent.

[Lady Tialait]

I did some changes to it. I think this is fair. It still charges but for dubble payment and some preperation it becomes a permanate effect.

[Fenix_of_Doom]

If I was optimising I still wouldn't take it and I guess you'd need to do some play testing to see if the price is fair, but I do think it is fair now, about on par with weapon specialisation.

[Lady Tialait]
