[QUOTE="Bront, post: 3942076, member: 19696"] Interesting ideas, and I like the GHAO option, makes the feats a bit better. I should have thought of how +2 actualy effects crits, since I do love stats. SO... [B]Heavy Armor Optimization [General][/B] Through focused training and practice, you are able to get more benefit out of heavy armor. [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Armor Proficiency (Heavy), BAB +1 [B]Benefit:[/B] When wearing heavy armor, decrease its Armor Check penalty by 1, and the armor bonus of the armor is considered increased by +2 versus critical confirmation checks. [B]Special:[/B] A fighter may select this feat as one of his bonus feats. Heavy armor made from Mithril does NOT count for this feat. [B]Greater Heavy Armor Optimization [General][/B] Through focused training and practice, you are able to get more benefit out of heavy armor. [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Armor Proficiency (Heavy), Heavy Armor Optimization, BAB +3 [B]Benefit:[/B] When wearing heavy armor, The armor bonus of the armor is considered increased by +1, and DR is increased by DR 1/- (to DR 1/- if there is no DR on the armor). [B]Special:[/B] A fighter may select this feat as one of his bonus feats. Heavy armor made from Mithril does NOT count for this feat. How's that? DR stacks, so DR 1/- I think works well. It seams like a lot for the second feat, but given that it means you need to be wearing heavy armor, and you can't get Mithril, I think it works fairly well. You also can't sleep in Heavy Armor under any circumstances (Endurance lets you sleep in Medium Armor) Man, I almost want this feat for Juliana... though not quite enough to surplant Deep Impact.
