[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5735350, member: 1210"] This is all good in my book. I assume you mean En Garde here. This is [i]very[/i] good. But one-handed wielders don't get much at all in 3e, so I don't think it's too good. (Also- Shouldn't that be three, where I bolded it?) However- Parry Like a Fiend is terrible. Trading an attack for a +1 AC against only a couple of enemies enemies? Meh. I can't see anyone ever using this unless they were fighting a group of dominated allies, if even then. Make this worth using! How about trading your lowest iterative attack for a +2 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn when you make a full attack, or your two lowest attacks for a +3 bonus, or your three lowest attacks for a +4 bonus? That way you always keep one good attack, you still get to choose how many attacks to give up and it's not so fiddly (the biggest problem with Dodge, in my experience, is remembering to consistently use it). Dance Like an Angel is cool, though I see it getting more use out of combat than in combat. If this was for 4e, I'd add a "shift 2 squares" clause, but I don't think that really fits in 3e. This seems okay, but inferior to the cool benefits you can get with the lower level feats. Then again, Power Attack. Hmm. I guess if you have a good Strength, this gets better too. OTOH it may not be thematically appropriate, since these feats seem to largely focus on Dex stuff instead. I dunno. Is the part I bolded supposed to say "Must have designated"? If this closes off your ability to use your Dodge feat, it also closes off your ability to use the other tactical feats in this chain. I'm assuming that it's a typo as is? This is pretty okay as a feat in itself, but as a maneuver it feels kind of unexciting. Then again, I've long had a feat for "apply Dex to damage" in my 3e campaign- I think it was in my first rash of homebrewed stuff- so I may have a colored view of it. This one is pretty awesome. I like it. [/QUOTE]
