[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2790519, member: 35678"] [b]I Got It![/b] well, i might not have it perfectly, but here is my idea > make this feat tied to Charisma! Makes sense, no? Charisma is force of peronality and taking up the tenants of a ideology like that would require something like that. +2 to diplomacy with creatures with the same alignment and +2 to Intimidate with opposing alignments (and perhaps even a bonus to the leadership when and if attained) would work as a boon with this feat, since you are now at the mercy of detect/magic circle against X. This feat should be a prereq with any PrC's with an alignment prereq, of which this feat would replace the aforementioned alignment prereq. Also, this should eb the first step in using anything that affects alignment in regards to feats or special class abilities. Any PrC with alignment affecting stuff should have to take this feat. Furthermore, I have to say that Clerics and Paladins get the feat for free - but the bonuses (+2 Dip and Intim) don't stack. Also, treat it like a Rangers weapon style feats - the normal prereqs need not have been met. Paladins get the Law and Good Alignments, Clerics may still be within one step of their deities alignment, and gain only one alignment - if their deity has 2 (ie, the god is Chaotic Evil) the cleric still only gains one alignment. Also, previous to this feat a charcter should be able to, theoretically, cast any magic circle/protection/detect spell (ie the same character could cast Protection from evil and Protection from Good in a given day), or should such a charcter be banned from those tyes of spells completely, untill he or she takes this feat? In the latter case (being banned untill gaining this feat) after taking this feat, you can now cast Also, should this perhaps just replace the Aura that clerics (and paladins??) get? Or amke it work one step more powerful? I personally think that a preiest or other holy man (or woman) [i]should[/i] be a bit fanatical about their god or goddess - have you ever been in a Catholic church? I haven't, but my girlfriend tells me horror stories ;) here's a rough draft of the feat: I gave clerics only one alignment for this reason: Deities are oftentimes Neutral [something] which means that those clerics will be a little less powerful - since some players like to be Neutral Good, which would only gaintheir characters 1 alignment - which is only good for Good and Evil. Since two alignments gain bonuses for their associated and opposed alignments (ie a lawful good cleric gets + for Good and Law, and + against Evil and Chaos). But that only works if your cleric chooses to be both Good and Lawful. Thus, one bonus alignment gives you the same choices as always, and swings a bit of power back to Paladins (which are underpowered [and un-necessary], IMO) so, what do you think? [/QUOTE]
