Feat: Lightning Initiative

[AGGEMAM]

How about . . .

Lightning Initiative [General]
You can react with blinding speed.
Prerequisites: Base Reflex save +6, Improved Initiaitve, Lightning Reflexes, Dexterity 17+
Benefit: A number of times per day equal to your Dexterity modifier, you may double your initiative bonus for the purposes of a single roll. For instance, if a character has a total initiative bonus of +9, they would roll as if their bonus was +18.

Still killer? Once per day, maybe?

Still overpowered in the extreme.

Even the Superior Initiative feat from ELH only gives a flat +8 to initiative, which does not stack with the +4 from the Improved Initiative feat. Futhermore it cannot be taken multible times.

There's already a feat called Lightning Initiative. it's in MGP's Quint Fighter, requires Lightning Reflexes and I think a BAB +4, and it adds an unnamed +4 to initiative that stacks with Improved Initiative.

And as far as the effect of your feat, I'd personally go with adding your Base reflex save to your initiative total once per day. Allow the feat to be taken multiple times for multiple uses. I'd require Alertness and Lightning reflexes, representing both the characters quick reflexes and his preternaturalawareness of what's occuring around him.
