[QUOTE="Hodgie, post: 2211174, member: 29204"] I really like those feats but I think it runs into the same problem as all other non-armored fighter paths: it costs feats. Three feats to gain a +8 armor bonus (and then only at 16th level) just isn't worth it. At that same point the fighter is going to be wearing some seriously magical fullplate for a higher AC bonus*. Now I realize that this has (a) style, (b) no cost, and (c) more style over armor, but we are still looking at a massive feat expenditure for what boils down to character preference. *I realize that unlimited dexterity and no armor check penalty are bonuses, but IMO they do not make up for the feat loss. Not to mention that anything you put into dexterity the fullplate fighter put into strength, meaning he is out damaging you many times over. While I think your feats are very well done, such characters are better emulated through classes than feats imo. [/QUOTE]
