[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4200644, member: 40961"] 1. Halflings look to make ok paladins. They can have high AC, and magic that punishes enemies who refuse to attack them. This is a good defender-ish combination because it creates a sort of no-win situation for their foes. 2. Halflings look to make good rogues, too. With a rogue they can have high AC, and high damage output. This creates a situation where a foe might want to attack an allied defender instead of the halfling. 3. I don't know which is better. 4. The overland movement feat seems... dumb. Now obviously we can't know for sure without seeing the full text, but... overland movement isn't that important. And the skill bonuses are low. I'm the sort of player who thinks taking Skill Training: Nature is a worthwhile decision so that your Elf Rogue can track, but... overland movement? Really? The feat is incredibly fluffy, very Tolkienesque, but that's not what I want feats for. If one of my players took this feat, I'd feel obligated to warn him that I've never tracked overland movement rates, and never expect to do so in the future. A feat like this should belong not in the PHB, but maybe in a book entitled "[I]Worthless Feats No Player Character Will Ever Use But Which Give Lizard Chills[/I]." Maybe they could release it as print on demand. Oh well. If it gave +1 square movement, I'd love it. I [I]want [/I] to like this feat. But I really don't. I was being sarcastic earlier in this paragraph, but very seriously- if they want to make crappy feats that provide crunch for worldbuilders who need crunch, put them somewhere else. Reserve the [B]Player's[/B] Handbook for things that are [B]Player[/B] relevant. 5. I like the dwarf AC bonus. Its not tough to track. Is my foe bigger than me? Yes/no. Really, its for the DM to track- I'll just make a note on my character entry for a dwarf with that feat. Where it says "AC: 22," I'll add in parenthesis "23 v Large or Larger." 6. I've come to terms with the Elven Precision feat. It enhances a per encounter ability. Who knows, I may even take it. I hate missing things. 7.
