[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 3085662, member: 20308"] So I suppose this would be a bad time to bring up Improved Natural Armor, eh? ;) No, not alot of "One Huge Guy" fights, but a Spring attacking monk walloping the enemy spellcaster with a stunning fist is sure satisfying. And yes, I am assuming that, short of two-weapon rogues, your own full attack is of lower value compared to your opponent's. Most of the critters in the book have a better BAB than you, even if you are a fighter. Yep, but after your flat-footed condition ends, the Touch AC nukes are still plenty useful. It is important to include, partially for completeness, and partially to get an idea of what the feat will be like for the "general masses". If you are simply trying to balance this feat against Dodge for a character with 24 Dex, Mithral Chain, and LAO, well, you'll note I didn't argue against it being the better choice in that case. How it interacts with the non-extremes is important as well as how it interacts with the extremes. Where we differ, I think, is on whether the extreme "breaks" the feat. I do not think it does. For example, I do not look at Great Fortitude, see that it is significantly better for a class with poor Fort saves than anyone else, and think it is broken. (Overly simplistic analogy, and not intended to construe that you think Great Fortitude is broken). [/QUOTE]
