[QUOTE="Norfleet, post: 1082827, member: 11581"] Let's be honest here. You're a rogue. Not a cleric. You're never going to pass a will save worth diddly squat, because of how blatantly and obviously rigged it is, and it's a waste of good feats to even pretend you can. Your own probability figures do not look terribly favorably on this. Unless you somehow luck out and get a rogue with a solid Wis score, you're not going to pass when it actually matters, and if you do pass, it didn't matter. This area is a totally lost cause. I mean, come on, 75% failure rate? I've seen better odds in Vegas. Yes, yes, that's all very nice, but do you seriously think an L10+ BBEG won't have access to Lesser Restoration? A few shots of that will cure that up no problem. CS is, at best, cute. Certainly worth taking if you can't think of anything else, but not at the top of the priority list. Hey, I said it wasn't bad. Didn't say it wasn't worth taking, but can it compare to "Any Feat Of Your Choice"? Not everyone can guarantee that Opportunist is useful to them, but everyone could use another feat. See previous. Hey, you do get to pick 4 of these things, you know. And my opinion of +2/+2 skill feats is one of open disdain, so that's not saying much. In my book, +2 on an iffy maybe makes it still an iffy maybe, and in the real world, iffy maybes are nos. Like I said, IE is overrated. Certainly a rather low choice on things for a rogue to burn a feat on, although certainly worth considering if the reason you happen to have 10 levels of rogue has absolutely nothing to do with high dexterity.
