Yes. If for some reason I was hiding initiatives from the players (normally I have all initiatives out in the open so that everyone knows the turn order), then the assassins would have to guess and hope. Otherwise, except for the player that started combat with their attack declaration, I'd...

Since cantrips (at least those two) scale with character level, they should remain useful throughout. MI allows you to cast cantrips as normal. The 1st level spell gained through the feat is what's limited to its lowest level casting for the 1/day use. Using Additional Magical Secrets for...

If the player wants to use unarmed attacks with sneak attack, you could just change sneak attack to work with unarmed attacks as well (or just that player's unarmed attacks, if you wanted to be more restrictive with it). As far as unforeseen issues, making unarmed strike a weapon (at least...

Question. Would her simply saying that she's been forbidden to answer the question/riddle be acceptable?

Hmm... I personally have never been stuck in a support role when I've chosen the feat (mainly because I only really use it when people are dying or when the situation is stable enough to allow for it). Also, I often find it difficult to not choose the feat or even to not choose it as my first...

Somewhat off-topic, but what's wrong with a melee fighter with a 14 in their attack stat, exactly?

Because I feel they need to be made- no more, no less. I would not have a problem if a series of easily acquired abilities or items happened to completely shut down one aspect of a threat (even Tiamat). If, however, said abilities/items were able to completely shut down a threat entirely, I'd...

Absolutely. If regeneration is the only thing that makes a threat epic, I'd personally question exactly how 'epic' of a threat said thing is. If regeneration is the only thing making a solo threat a threat, then I'd personally question whether the solo 'threat' ever was. I'd imagine the...

Even limited to those two schools, there's still plenty of utility to be had. Not as much as could be had from a less limited spell list, but then, there are ways to address that if you feel the need.

I have to disagree with this on the grounds that subclass features (which must be chosen) are not base class features (which you have no choice in getting if you are a member of the class in question).

Alert 23 Athlete 20 Actor 21 Charger 20 Crossbow Expert 22 -To date, my absolute favorite character concept was centered around using (and abusing) crossbows (funny enough, I used a more restrictive interpretation of the feat than practically anyone).

It would have never happened in a million years, but it would have been cool to have a special melee attack you could do to grappled targets, or a defensive ability that let you (perhaps on successful check) force a grappled person to become the target of one attack against you.

I don't know... In the worst case, it seems like this one should take about... 420 (heh) full vote posts to go from start to end. How many unique people normally post in these types of threads daily? Addendum: Also, I don't believe I saw your vote yet. If this is because I've simply failed...
