Does Divine Might require an action to use?

[Hypersmurf]

If you have a cha bonus of +1 then with the standard action rule you would only get a damage bonus if you were lucky enough to get an AoO.

The feat was written for 3E; you could activate it with a Haste Partial and make a Full Attack.

Still, written a feat that is dependend on you being on hasted ... nah ..

But that only makes it even more logical to make it a free action in 3.5.

As for the ftr pal comparisons... IME, paladins have on average 4 points less strength than a fighter. (usually two stat boosters +4 instead of one stat booster +6 as an example).

Looking at all those storyhours here on the board, I see more high level paladins leading in the damage department (after the tactical nukes) than fighters.

Dependent on being Hasted, or on anticipating an AoO, or on having a Cha modifier higher than +1 for a Cha-based feat...

After all, there's no Int prerequisite at all on Spell Mastery. It's just not really worth taking with an 11 Int.

Hey! Preparing Mage Hand without spell book should work and might you get out of jail ?

Spell Mastery lets you pick a number of spells equal to your Int modifier.

If your Int modifier is +0, Spell Mastery lets you pick zero spells that you can subsequently prepare without a spellbook.

Yeah, the game kinda assumes you can determine if you'll benefit from a feat by yourself.

As far as I know, single-classed barbarians can pick metamagic feats.

I can picture it as a Paladin muttering a prayer to his god while noding at the rogue to open the door and charging in the room sword blazing with divine radiance. Beaucoup cool. Sometimes to find the room... empty. Oh well...

That's what Detect Evil at will is for.

Unless it no longer goes through wooden doors in 3.5E ?

Yup, it does work through doors. You won't know it's exact location, but you will know it's direction and that it's within 60 feet.

I dunno. Of the 6 Divine feats in DotF, 3 of them (D.Cleasnsing, D.Resistance, D.Vengeance) look hopelessly stupid if they require an action to activate -- hasted or no. They all have substantial prereqs. The Divine feats are the only feats I know of where the method of activation are described outside of the feat itself.

I strongly suspect that all the Divine feats were intended to be 'free actions' or 'at will'.
