[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 4176752, member: 50987"] Oops, put the halfling in the wrong column. This rule came from the Pathfinder Playtest rules, so I can't really vouch for the whys and how-comes. Hmm...you make a good point. My intent was to put it on par with poison, so I should change the heal rate to 1 point per day. Thanks for the tip. The "bag of rats" bug is an exploitation of the Whirlwind Attack feat combined with Great Cleave. The way it works: suppose your fighter carries a bag of 20 rats around with him. He walks up and stands adjacent to your BBEG, and drops the bag of rats (free action). He uses his Whirlwind attack feat to slaughter all of the rats, and gets to make one free attack against the BBEG for each rat that he kills. Lame and unfair...but possible, according to the RAW. There are similar bugs for Combat Reflexes, the Tempest prestige class, etc. To answer your question about fixing those other feats instead, it was just easier to fix one feat instead of every single feat that allows multiple attacks. Great Cleave was the problem they all had in common. And why I didn't make it Strength-based instead? I guess it was just a matter of preference, I suppose. Either one works fine for me. No. Thanks for the feedback...you've helped me fix a lot of errors. :cool: What are some of the house rules that you use? [/QUOTE]
