In the case of said fighter, would you not allow a character to take power attack if they're under the effects of temporary ability damage when they level?
Hypersmurf said:I'm not suggesting that "at the moment he levels" is the rule. Just that it's a better analogy for what Laslo was comparing to than what he had.
But should an 8th level Cleric be able to take the Improved Critical feat, even though he doesn't have a +8 BAB, just because he can cast Divine Power?
-Hyp.
Did you never have a druid in your group who wildshaped several months into a REAL CUTE Persian kitty who got petted all the time by the girls and women of the local lord in his harem? I'd call that social interaction.Diirk said:I agree that doesn't sound right, but then again by lvl 8 a druid could technically be in a wildhape 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (if he doesn't want to partake in social situations)...
Your character must have the indicated ability score, class feature, feat, skill, base attack bonus, or other quality designated in order to select or use that feat.
That's real tough. How do you measure it - do you make him bench press certain weights or something?Mal Malenkirk said:Personnally, I wouldn't allow it.
I interpret it to mean the player must meet the pre-requisite without magical help or any other shenanigans.
I'm even more strict considering I always I use point buy. If a Druid IMC didn't invest in STR it means his WIS is probably higher than a Druid who had. So basically, a Druid with 10 STR who can get Power Attack just for use when shapeshifted is gaining some of the benefit of having invested at least 5 points in STR without having actually done so. The advantage of not having invested 5+ point in STR for a druid is a higher WIS and still being able to kick ass when shapeshifted. That's enough.
So no, I wouldn't allow it.

Are there any monsters with one of the flying feats that fly via magic?
If we can find an example then that would set a pretty strong precedent.
