    Default Pounce Spell

    Is there a spell or non-epic feat that grants a guy pounce?

    i ask because i made a two weapon barbarian
    at level 13 now, with 0 penalty because of tempest levels, my attack bonuses are 24/19/14 and 24/19. thing is. no matter how many attacks i can dish out in a turn, if the guy finds a way to move out of side-step distance, it all goes to heck >.<

    Hum, love the idea, little problem though...
    Ive got 7barbarian/2fighter/4tempest, anymore classes or prestige classes after this and i start taking XP penaltys...

    How much would an item that's enchanted with Lion's Charge spell cost??

    Er, what? You're asking for how to get Pounce when you're already the class that gets it most easily? Seriously, the standard easy solution for pretty much every time someone asks "how can I get Pounce" is "dip 1 level in Barbarian".

    Look up the barbarian alternate class features in Complete Champion. In particular, you want the Lion Totem. Lose Fast Movement, gain Pounce. Permanently. All the time. Without spending actions casting a spell in combat.

    I learned about the pounce from the lion totem after level one, not sure my DM would let me change that at this point in the story though.
    Recently my char lost a foot, so he could resurrect a disintegrated friend (no wish in this setting)

    Look up Retraining in PHB2. I'm pretty sure changing one class feature to an alternate is one of the options.

    Technically, Psionic Lion's Charge will permanently give you Pounce, since its duration is Instantaneous.

    It still requires a swift action and 3 power points each round you manifest the power, so the instantaneous nature of the ability doesn't really buy you anything.

    You only need to manifest it once. It doesn't refer to 'this round' when describing the benefits, so it lasts forever.

    This dubious reading of the power's description is nifty -- a nifty way to get your DM to smack you upside the head with the closest available rulebook.

    Don't try this at home, kids.

    And yet, it still works. Strange how poorly edited some books were, no?

    All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.

    Much like Pun-Pun (and most of your rulings), it is stupid, but RAW.

    I would imagine that losing a foot would mean you also lose the Fast Movement. See if your DM would let you swap it out for Pounce, via the whole, 'lose one physical attribute and the others will compensate' meme?

    I'm confused. Tempest Dance gives you the ability to move and make a full attack. You can just take more levels of Tempest.

    Anywho, I would just let your character die, and play a different build. Barb 7/Fighter 2/Tempest 4 is made of suck. Alternatively, you could buy a Psicrown of the Evader for Hustle. Or you can just ask someone to cast Polymorph on you. Or start using thrown weapons.

    If you still want that spell, Lion's Charge in the SpC. It's easy to miss, I only noticed it a week or so ago (I wondered why there was a Psionic version of a spell I couldn't find, not that I really looked). Druid and Ranger lists, high level for what it does though, IMO. Why would the as-written Psionic Lion's Charge get you smacked? I think it's fine, even if I am looking for balance. A one level dip of a class which is good for the builds Pounce is wanted in rarely gets so much hate, sure Psi L's Charge was clearly an oversight but it's still better than a lot of material (e.g. Monk).

    I did say it was Druid and Ranger. I assumed the page would be relatively easy to find, it's in alphabetical order. The spell is just in the corner of a page so I always looked over it, it also took me ages to find the Annis for the same reason.

    Yeah, the fast movement was shot to heck with the lost foot, but the little hairy man that is my DM said:
    The cleric looks at you and says: *We will require one of your hands to resurrect your friend*
    And he smirks, saying: They're goes your five attacks per turn, bimbo
    Another thing, i usually play not to simply destroy everything in my sight, but also because i find some builds interesting
    My Character is Holg Dat Thot, know as the black tempest (hes a black half-orc), wielding a keen sonic bastard sword and a keen electric bastard sword.
    Even though the build may be sucky, hes a LOT of fun to play
