Dedicated Hunter[General] (Was Dedicated Tracker [General])

[Bront]

I actually accidentally derailed an Improved Combat Expertise thread into a similar discussion--or is that the one you're talking about?

Yes, you and your improved combat expertise tyranosaurus

 

[Rystil Arden]

Yes, you and your improved combat expertise tyranosaurus

You can find him (but not his stats) in the Eyros Campaign Setting...Some day...(a man can dream, can't he?)

 

[Bront]

I take it he was awakened?

BTW, I started another thread asking this question becaus I'm curious what people think when asked, not when it's hidden in another thread. (About animal Intelegence)

 

[Rystil Arden]

He was a unique half-demon who was worshipped by a bestial cult and had a semidivine aura (Eyros doesn't really have ordinary deities, but worship sometimes gives semidivine auras to the object of worship).

Glad it didn't get to the point another discussion did, ...

Are you sure about that?

Ahem, it sounds likw are in agreement, then. Yes?

 

[Bront]

Are you sure about that?

Quite. I've never heard a spell couldn't effect a creature because it, per RAW, couldn't become that intellegent, while others claimed they suddently gained the ability to speak. It was quite ammusing

It slightly bothers me that this is so similar to an official WotC feat. I'm going to vote NO.

 

[Bront]

Removed the tricks column.

That's 1 yes, and 1 No

Hmm official feat is very similar, but thats not a problem for me. I've created a couple that were too. The point of creating similar is to avoid copyright protection but provide a baseline for balance comparisson.

That being said the WotC feat gives:
- animal companion/mount ability
- smite
- wild empathy

Your feat gives:
- animal companion/mount ability
- smite (vs. favored enemy only)
- favored enemy (only half pally level counts)
- lay on hands

I think this is pretty balanced, though I'd be tempted to take lay on hands down a notch as it doesn't gel quite as well for me. Like perhaps half-ranger level contributes to loh?

 

[Bront]

I can do half LoH, but rangers get cure spells too, and the multi class will kill that as well. It's not a high powered ability by any stretch either.
