... okay I think the feats in the Rokugan setting are cool, but the Armor focus feat is pretty dang ... um to powerful.
and the crab armor one is the same ...
my thoughts/ideas (and sorry for the bad name changes): (well basically I nerf the feats from that setting)
Focused Armor (general, fighter)
You excel in the use of a particular armor or shield.
Prerequisite: appropriate armor feat
Benefits: Choose one specific type of armor, you get -1 ACP and +1 max dex bonus (no shield benefit). Additionally the armor counts as one category less for you (minimum of light). This allows you to move faster with medium armor, or use the full run ability in heavy armor.
Special: This feat does not stack with any other ability that lessens the weight or encumbrance of armor, specifically mithral (a suit of mithral half-plate will not count as light armor, but will benefit from the increase in max dex and the -1 ACP).
Armor Specialist
Your superior skill with armor allows you to use it more effectively.
Prerequisites: +2 BAB, Focused Armor
Benefit: With the specific type of armor you are focused you gain an +1 dodge bonus to AC(it stacks with other dodge stuff). You lose this bonus any time you would lose a normal dodge bonus.
Special: You do not need the Focused Armor feat if you want ot specialize with a shield (buckler, small, large).
and that's that! ... I didn't like the +2 AC with one feat, and the crab clan feat was just insane ... you got to ignore the entire encumbrance of your armor, got bonus to ACP and mx dex, ... and it counted as an armor feat ... so you could use 1/2plate and move like you where wearing light armor.
