[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 3045378, member: 6562"] The LoM feats were what I had in mind as my baseline for the Dralasite feats. They are a mixed bag, and they do not appear regularly in the WotC CharOpt board, so I don't think they're overpowered. (Unlike Leap Attack and [i]wraithstrike[/i], which are regular features.) Thus, I think it's a valid point of comparison. Another valid point of comparison would be the [Draconic] feats that Sorcerers could get, or the racial feats in one of the race books. But to focus on your main point: how exactly are you getting all these full attacks? Your guy has: - Low speed - Poor AC - No "pounce" ability Maybe his best class mix is PsiWar / Rogue... hmm. Anyway: let's put him in a cage with a Warforged of my design, and see who walks out. :) [b]Clunk, Warforged Stomper[/b] Str: 16, Dex: 12, Con: 17, Int: 14, Wis: 11, Cha: 6 1: Ftr 1 -- Adamantine Body, Weapon Focus (Greatsword) 2: Ftr 2 -- Power Attack 3: Ftr 3 -- Improved DR 4: Ftr 4 -- Weapon Spec (Greatsword) 5: Ftr 5 -- (I cry tears of oil.) 6: Ftr 6 -- Improved Fortification, Improved Initiative These feats are NOT optimal. Note the lack of spiked chain, or any special ability to trip / disarm / sunder. This is a naive, obvious build, balanced between offense and defense. And I wager you it's better in melee than your guy. In PvP (not really a test) or in combat vs. 10 goblins. Note that I'm using Warforged and LoM feats [u]NOT[/u] because they're stronger, but because they are a better direct comparison to the abilities of the Dralasite. Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
