[QUOTE="magustenebrarum, post: 4365055, member: 62494"] Even so, I like it a lot. Keeping track of how many times you have used sneak attack in this encounter is a little much, and getting to do it your dex mod is way too powerful. It isn't balanced with other feats. You've done a decent job with changing the pre-reqs to simulate this, however it only really worked for the rogue, because if you aren't a rogue you had to use a feat to take Theivery (I'm presuming when you say "theivery skill" you mean trained in the theivery skill), but a Wizard with a high wis can multiclass into cleric as his first feat...which is just nasty. You could make these feats "greater" feats, requiring the original feats to take, which would alleviate some of the balance issues, but not all of them. Even if you do that, anyone who is level 8 is going to be multiclass. The only reason not to is if all your stats are less than 13. I suppose this isn't a problem if that's the type of campaign you want. If you wanted to alleviate that, you could also put it "specialization" feats (conflicitng with multiclass feats), which would mean some people wouldn't multiclass. Of course, you'd want more than one so not all people with one class were the same... For example: [B]Wizard Specialist[/B] [specialist] Prerequisite: Wizard class, no multiclass or specialist feats Benefit: Gain an additional at-will power Special: You cannot take this feat if you already have any multiclass or specialist feats. [B]Elemental Specialist[/B] [specialist] Prerequisite: Wizard class Benefit: Once per encounter, you may substitute any elemental keyword on a power for one of the following: thundering, fire, cold, lightning, acid Special: The element you can substitute for must be selected when taking this feat. You cannot take this feat if you already have any multiclass or specialist feats. I have no thoughts on dual-classing [/QUOTE]
