    Default Dips that grant "Mettle"

    I'm building a monk variant/warblade gestalt for the purpose of mage killing, and I'd like to get my hands on "Mettle". What classes/PrCs out there grant this feature?

    Thanks!

    Probably the easiest is Hexblade 3, though there's also pious templar 1, but that asks you to spend feats.

    Hexblade, Pious Templar 4 1, Witchslayer 2, Hellreaver 4
    An item in complete champion will grant mettle when hitpoints are below half. If you've got mettle, it grants improved mettle.

    Have you tried doing a search? Someone already had a thread about this like a week and a half ago.

    Pardon this ones ignorance, but what is 'mettle' and what does it do?

    Essentially, Mettle : Fort/Will partial saves :: Evasion : Ref half saves.
    Better to DM in Baator than play in Celestia
    You can just call me Dice; that's how I roll.

    It's similar to evasion, but applies to Fort and will effects.
    There's a few different phrasings, but pretty much, anything where it says "Fort/will save for half or partial" you instead take no effect.
    Usually aside from Blasphemy/holy word, there's not too many common spell effects which Mettle applies to. Hence it being for both fort and will.

    It is evasion for fortitude and will saves, effectively. It lets you ignore any "half damage" or "partial" effects on them.

    Well thanks herrhauptmann and Olo Demonsbane. You have dispelled my ignorance and for that I am much grateful.
    Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.
