[QUOTE="CTurbo, post: 7468142, member: 6855234"] Not arguing RAW here, but this is not how me and anybody I've played with have played. A surprise round has always been basically a free turn before initiative is rolled. That is assuming the deception check is passed. This way, whether RAW or not, makes already hard surprise rounds even harder to pull off. OP to answer your original question again, I would probably want Moderately Armored feat since it bumps your Str to 18 and at the very least, adds +2 to your AC with Breastplate, and +4 if you use a shield. Having the option to use a shield would really come in handy if/when you need it. Sometimes you're just going to be stuck in all out combat and you'll appreciate the extra AC. Alert is my second choice. Even if you stick to your current way of playing surprise rounds, which I would, Alert is still a nice thing to have on this character. [/QUOTE]
