[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 3085703, member: 20308"] Like the Kobold? I've not found Dragon Disciples to be suboptimal, far from it, but YMMV. And his buddies gank you from behind with full attacks. No thanks, I'd rather take my one relatively risk-free attack, even if it means a couple of Aoo (which I've got +4 from mobility against). I'm actually very curious about this. How do you do this? I thought Invisibility might, but it doesn't (just denies Dex). Perhaps we are both missing the mark. My analogy doesn't seem to go far enough for you (+2 to Fort Saves isn't big enough for you to consider broken, so you dismiss it), and your analogy is far enough as to not really make sense to me (the feat is useless for those who have it and aren't the extreme). How about a middle ground, a feat that grants +1 to your Fort Save, and an additional +1 every five levels (+1 at 1st, +2 at 5th, +3 at 10th, etc.)? Is that far enough for you to consider, or does it need to be eye-bulging? I'll have to wait until tomorrow to discuss this further, gotta get home and make dinner for the wife before she gets home from Aikido. If I don't, I'll be wishing I had Dodge. ;) [/QUOTE]
