Then start at 3rd level with zero xp.

Yes, precisely. Jeff, your idea of skill die to init might work too. Nice thing about skill die is that it makes a feat scale with levels naturally. Since keterys is reluctant, the next feat iiiiis: Defensive Ward My take on it: Prerequisites: Ability to cast spells As a reaction, you may...

Similar to mine, but in my version it gives +10 to speed but only in combat and once per combat per opponent lunge attack is surprising and grants advantage. Your turn to pick a feat for someone else to redo.

Since feats are getting better, maybe a single feat, called Metamagic, to unlock all keyword-abilities. Or one feat for each type of metamagic, but each feat also grants a number of virtual spell levels to spend on metamagic effects only.

Looks like everyone has a different opinion how such feats should like, power-level wise. It will be very interesting to read feedback on forums when they finally show the feats! keterys, want to try redesign Lunge? it is the current feat in the game. I have my own idea for it and I'm curious...

But you still have to call it Improved Initiative if you want to play the game of feats :)

That's simple. "Old" feats are much weaker than those new ones will be, so every feat must be made stronger. Plus, Mike tweated that new feats will be "tremendous". That tells me a mere advantage on initiative checks is not going to cut it. I'm not saying that the bonus should be higher, but I...

Beacuse, in my opinion, an advantage on initative rolls and another similarily powerful ability are still worse than +1 initiative, +1 ranged attacks and finesse melee attacks, +1 dex checks and saves, +1 AC, and +1 to some class abilities that will inevitably appear in the game. I'm starting...

I don't think it's fair to assume that, but its interesting to know how other people reason about this. IMO one feat gives +1/2 initiative, +1/2 ranged attacks and finesse melee attacks, +1/2 dex checks and saves, +1/2 AC, and +1/2 to some class abilities that will inevitably appear in the game...

For those who like to design stuff, lets have some fun. The rules of the game are: the poster above you posts a feat from the latest dndn packet, and your job is to make that feat equal to +1 bonus to ability score. You can change the effect of the feat, or you can add to it, but it still has to...

Do we even need them? Are they just for flavor or are there other rules in the game that reference them.

I think mass spells could be resolved in another way than scalable spells are done. There could be mass keyword with spells that can have mass versions. In the rules for spellcasting there would be an explanation of this keyword, to something like: Mass - any spell with this keyword can be cast...

For a long time now I have proposed a sort of hybrid system where each point of ability score counts, but there's also the well-known modifier. - Each ability minus 10 is used for skill checks and some other minor things, damage, initiative, extra languages, carrying capacity - Ability modifier...

Who knows, that may very well lead to wizards getting more spells.

That's the entire point of this thread :) Mind Matrix Prerequisites: Int 13+. You gain an extra spell slot for each spell level you can cast. Metamagic Mastery Prerequisites: Level 10+. Whenever you cast a spell, you may modify it in one or more of the following ways: - double its range (if...

Since feats are supposed to vary in power, maybe the feat that increases AS will as well. Like... if taken at levels 1-10, it gives +1, but if taken at 11-20, it gives +2.

Oh ok, that I agree with. I thought Kraydak meant the diminishing returns are present within a single ability score.

No it doesn't. It gives you identical benefits until you reach the cap, at which point you can't take it any more.

Maybe, but wotc thinks they can do it. And while going from even to odd might seem like a no brainer to avoid, it's a necessary step towars that next even.

How, in your mind, should such feats look? Give some examples. My idea: (those two are based on some of original feats presented as the ambusher speciality). Unless otherwise noted, all benefits stack. Ambusher Prerequisites: Dex 11+ * You gain a +2 bonus to initiative checks. * When you...
