[QUOTE="Nyeshet, post: 2826085, member: 18363"] Leap of the Heavens is just the 3e Monk's jumping special made into a feat. As I recall it was removed from the 3.5e Monk due to changes in rules for use of the Jump skill in 3.5e. My only problem with it is that it is available at so low a level. What are the exact requirements for that feat? Shield Ward should not affect Touch AC unless armor and natural armor also affect Touch AC. Why should having a shield be any more effective against an incorporeal foe? Otherwise it is fine for its level. I'd houserule out the Touch AC bit in my games. Mad Foam Rager sounds odd as you describe it. Are you sure it would affect an antimagic field? From other descriptions I'd heard of it I presumed it would only delay effects upon the Barbarian himself - not his equipment. So a spell upon a barbarian could be delayed (rather like Delay Poison), or its continued effect could be allowed for a round+ in an AMF, but his items would still be affected as normal by the AMF as they are not the Barbarian. At least, that was how I understood it. Otherwise it is potentially broken. Elven Spell Lore and Acrobatic Strike sound strong, but they cannot be taken before mid levels, and as I recall both have a high ability score pre-req (Int 17+ for the former). I'll have to think about them, but the first, at least sounds okay so far. If the Tumble check used for Acrobatic Strike is an opposed check then it wouldn't be so bad. I'll have to read up on Tumbling through AoOs. Mobility is likely aided by this, I presume. Overwhelming Assault, Melee/Ranged Weapon Mastery, and Weapon Supremecy are okay for their levels. Keen Eared Scout should be folded into the Listen check - as perhaps should the other new feats that grant 'new' uses of skills. Does Water Splitting Stone work against DR #/- or just against DR #/material &/or magic? If it does not affect the former then it would not deal extra damage to barbarians. Many of the other feats seem fair so far. I'll have my copy of PHB2 in a day or two, so I'll be able to comment more then. [/QUOTE]
