[QUOTE="Ragmon, post: 5899072, member: 99604"] I find that all-in-all there is one feat that should not be before we talk about the rest. [B]Vow of Poverty in Book of Exalted Deeds[/B], but not balance wise but design wise. This feat give the player a full progression, unlike any other feat, and this feat actually existed in 3rd edition where it was a [B]prestige class (Masters of the Wild - The Forsaken (page 58)).[/B] [B][U]As a side note (so I can vent my frustration about Book of Exalted Deeds).[/U][/B] And in the end its even more redundant that only good characters can opt to take this feat. Most of the Vow feats are not even clearly good in a sense, like Vow of -Poverty, Abstinence, Chastity, Obedience, Purity. The rest I find to be justified to be good only Vows. Most of the feats in the Exalted Deeds book are ultra gimmicky. Take a feat, write [Exalted] next to it add Exalted or Sacred next to ever Damage, add celestial to every creature and here you go Book of Exalted Deeds. In the end 80% of the feats [U]"should not be"[/U], in this book. [/QUOTE]
