[Complete Guide to Drow] Combat Intuition?

[drowdude]

I have not been around for awhile, and a cursory check didnt reveal any threads pertaining to this feat, so I thought I would go ahead and bring it up... since it's kinda bugging me a bit...

This feat has no prerequisites and grants a +2 bonus to initiative & a +2 *unnamed* bonus to AC...

I have to say this gets my vote as the single most broken feat I have laid eyes on.

Think about this... bascially it's equivalent to 1/2 imp.init. & double-dodge.... except... that... it's even better than dodge... since it applies versus *all* opponents equally.

The nearest comparisons are a handful of feats from the FRCS... blooded and thug both also grant a +2 init bonus... and a +2 bonus to a skill... let me reiterate that...*a skill*...

And on the AC front the nearest comparison is Twin-Sword Style, which also grants a +2 bonus to AC... but that's it.... *and* it has prerequisites *and* requirements for use...

Sorry, a bit of a rant there.... but I just dont understand how a feat so clearly broken even made into the draft...

Except use sunglasses, of course. They're not that bright.

Personally, I just wish they would errata skill focus. Give you a +3 bonus instead of a +2 bonus and the skill becomes a class skill even if it is not on a class skill list. Skill focus is just useless with the new feats from FRCS and most of the Class Books.

This feat does seem pretty outrageous given that you dont' need any requirements to obtain it.

+3 and the skill becomes a class skill? Not bad at all!

Personally, I just replaced it, mechanics-wise, with SW's Skill Emphasis feat (i.e., +3 instead of +2). (Dunno whether they changed it in SW revised, though...)

Heh, wouldnt be as bad if it *were* race restricted, but any ole first level so-n-so can take it as written.
