Feats for Monsters?

[the Jester]

Has anyone worked up any custom feats, especially epic feats, for monsters?

I have a few, but only a few, and would like to develop (or swipe) more. First of all, do these look balanced?

EPIC ABILITY FOCUS (Epic, General)

One of your special abilities is much stronger than normal.

Prerequisites: Ability Focus, Improved Ability Focus, related ability score 23

Benefit: Choose one special ability that you have Improved Ability Focus in. You must have a score of 23 or higher in that special ability’s key ability score. That ability’s save DC increases by 2. This stacks with the increase from Ability Focus and Improved Ability Focus.

EPIC SPECIAL ABILITY (Epic, General)

One of your special abilities benefits from your full personal power.

Prerequisites: Ability Focus, related ability score 23

Benefit: Choose one special ability that you have Ability Focus in. You must have a score of 23 or higher in that special ability’s key ability score. When you calculate that ability’s save DC, use your total character hit dice.

IMPROVED ABILITY FOCUS (General)

One of your special abilities is very powerful.

Prerequisites: Ability Focus

Benefit: Choose a special ability in which you have the Ability Focus feat. The DC of the save against that ability increases by +2. This stacks with the increase gained by the Ability Focus feat.


Anyone else?

I created an Epic Ability Focus myself one time, for the Umbral Splinter swarm. Outside of that, I do occasionally create feats (or other material) tailored to the creatures I create (or for other monsters), as evidenced here and here (ancient thread warning).

Not sure if that is what you are looking for, though.

Legends of Avadnu, if you don't have it, has a number of Epic Feats for monsters. Currently, it should still be available for free from DrivethruRPG.

Ooh- I've been intending to jump on that product for a while now!

What about the balance of the ones I've written?

Especially Epic Ability Focus- the typical pattern of feat/improved feat/epic feat bonus is +x/+x/+2x; I broke that rule here. Should I make EAF give a +4 DC or is that too much (given Epic Special Ability)?

I feel they should be mostly fine, though I am a bit unsure about Epic Special Attack. That one might be a bit too much. Maybe break it up into two feats, first adds 1/4 class levels, second changes it to full HD?

Of course, then it should be noted that it has no effect on abilities that already use the full character HD.
