Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 2773517" data-attributes="member: 907">It's not that common, really. In the two campaigns I'm in (one as a DM, the other as a player), I think only one character has taken Exotic weapon proficiency (Spiked chain, of course).Yeah, there are a bunch of neat archery feats, like this, Point-blank shot (+1 hit/damage within 30 ft), Precise Shot (shoot into melee without penalty), and Rapid shot (one extra attack, all attacks at -2 - sort of like two-weapon fighting with a bow).The save-booster feats, I mostly see on fighter-types (who want Iron Will). Since their Will save is so low, it's not uncommon for a foe with the right magic to either take them out of the battle with a single spell, or worse - turn them against their own party. Getting a small save boost helps with that.It's only for one school, not all spells.My house rule here is that Spell Focus gives +2 to the save DCs for one school, and Greater Spell Focus doesn't exist. GSF could be used to push DCs into the stratosphere, but SF on its own is OK.MR 50% more properly translates to SR 21, since 1e MR was based on an 11th level caster (with +/-5% per level above/below that). However, it's not that simple. Most monsters got converted to having a SR equal to CR (Challenge Rating, a number that indicates at what level you're supposed to be facing these monsters) +10 or so, somewhat more or less depending on how resistant the monsters were in AD&D (Mind flayers have CR 8 and SR 25, so you need to roll 17+ to affect them = 80%, a slight decrease from the 90% they had in AD&D; Githyanki have SR = class levels +5 which translates to CR +4, so effectively 15%).</blockquote>
