Kerrick's collection of "Why not do this?" rules

[Kerrick]

Why not make it turn a bad save to a good save and have no other use? Solves the "these feats suck" problem and avoids inflated saving throws.

Changing a bad save to a good save means you'd have to recalculate everything, which could be a real PITA if you've got levels in multiple classes. I think if someone wants to blow 3 feats to get a high (or higher, if it's low) save, more power to them. It could, of course, use some testing, but I don't think it would break anything.

This assumes you use some kind of uniform saving throw format, i.e. you can't get the +2 1st level kicker more than once.

I do, actually - I use the fractional BAB/saves system, where you get the +2 only once per save.

Then it works perfectly, if you take the feat, your save uses the +2, +3, +3, +4, +4, +5... chart regardless of class mix based on character level.
