[QUOTE="elecgraystone, post: 5107659, member: 74232"] Well in the current adventure, at least for me, that'd be a 'hell no'! Can't do much with a 5, 5, 4, 4! That was Euphemia and not Ts'iri though. However in my first adventure, yes it would have been a huge help. IC seemed to have great joy in letting me JUST miss. A +1 would have turned an adventure of total misses into a 50% hit/miss adventure. However, it in effect phases out those feats by making them useless. You have to look at the consequences of things that aren't the point of the houserule. You're killing iconic race/class combos by making the racial feats obsolete. Why focus on the damage my breath weapon does when I can do the same thing AND can swap elements depending on the target? Oh and in case people are wondering how people have PHB3 early, WOTC has stated that they are picking places out and sending them it up to 2 weeks early and that they can put it up for sale. It seems that they are going to be doing that from now on. I'll agree Oni. If we change the houserule, it should be to allow other types of expertise instead of making them obsolete. It'll keep us closer to the actual rules and make all the feats an option. [/QUOTE]
