Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brother Allard" data-source="post: 3567753" data-attributes="member: 49563">[SBLOCK=Jemal]The dragonscale armor looks good, but a couple of the feats I was looking at are predicated on his wearing heavy - not medium - armor.  Let me know what you think of these:HEAVY ARMOR OPTIMIZATION [GENERAL] (Races of Stone 141)You have trained extensively in heavy armor, and you have learned to take advantage of the protection it offers.  Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (heavy), base attack bonus +4.Benefit: When you are wearing heavy armor, lessen the armor check penalty of the armor by 1 and increase the armor bonus by 1.Special: A fighter may select Heavy Armor Optimization as one of his fighter bonus feats (see page 38 of the Player’s Handbook).GREATER HEAVY ARMOR OPTIMIZATION [GENERAL] (Races of Stone 141)You have mastered the use of heavy armor, maximizing its protective qualities while moving more easily in it.Prerequisites: Armor Proficiency (heavy), Heavy Armor Optimization, base attack bonus +8.Benefit: When you are wearing heavy armor, lessen the armor check penalty of the armor by 2 and increase the armor bonus by 1. Both of these effects stack with the benefit of the Heavy Armor Optimization feat, for a total lessening of the armor check penalty by 3 and a total increase to the armor bonus of 2.Special: A fighter may select Greater Heavy Armor Optimization as one of her fighter bonus feats (see page 38 of the Player’s Handbook).Also, from the PHB2:STEADFAST DETERMINATION [GENERAL] (PHB2 83)Your physical durability allows you to shrug off attacks that would cripple a lesser person.  Rather than depend on agility or willpower, you use your raw toughness to survive.Prerequisites: Endurance.Benefit: You can use your constitution modifier in place of your wisdom modifier  on will saves.  You do not automatically fail fortitude saves on a roll of 1.ARMOR SPECIALIZATION [GENERAL] (PHB2 75)Through long wear and hours of combat, you have trained your body to believe in its armor.  Where others flinch, you confront.  When the sword fails, your instincts, born of bruises and rent flesh, present your cuirass, cuisse, helm, or gorget to meet the blade at the perfect angle, causing it to skitter off harmlessly.Prerequisites: Proficiency with the selected armor type, base attack bonus +12.Benefit: Choose one type of medium or heavy armor with which you are proficient.  When wearing masterwork armor (including magic armor) of that type, you gain damage reduction 2/-.  Any time you lose you dexterity bonus to armor class, you lose the benefit of this feat, because you cannot properly deflect the blows of your enemy.Special: You can gain this feat multiple times.  Its effects do not stack.  Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of armor.Also, for future reference, would you allow the Greater Resliancy feat from CW to apply to Armor Specialization, increasing the DR to 3/-?[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
