Heroes of Shadow's Feat Preview

[Incenjucar]

That anti-healing feat is a bit conditional, but it'll be fun being able to shut down regeneration if the DM throws enough of the right monsters at you, since they at least come in great variety.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

Good feats. Becoming insubstantial on your turn may not seem that strong, but if you get surrounded you will be really happy to use it.

Good feats. Becoming insubstantial on your turn may not seem that strong, but if you get surrounded you will be really happy to use it.

It's certainly not useless, but it generally requires you to be dealing with a lot of auto-damage to be useful. Like if you wanted to charge through a wall of fire.

... Surely the Vryloka would have got a few racial feats at least? ...

Why should there?
I remember many warforged and other racial feats that let you replace one of your powers with a racial power.
Shades and Vrylokas can do this without spending a feat for it. Win?

 

[UngeheuerLich]

Or through other people, or to be more accurate near them.

 

[Walking Dad]

Anyone else thinking that the inclusion of Ki-Focus expertise means that a build in the book uses this implement?

Vampire class would be my bet for using it.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

I guess the assasin executioner will use it too.

 

[Klaus]

I'm eager to see the final form of the feats, as I wrote most of them (all categories except for Implement Expertise and Revenant, plus Tainted Wounds).

 

[WalterKovacs]

The executioner does have the ki focus, but it didn't seem to have any implement powers [however, ki focus expertise may tie into the fact that it modifies weapons. For example, it may give the bonus to weapons benefiting from the ki focuses enchantment]. If there are implement powers with the ki focus, it may end up with the vampire.

The holy symbol expertise might mean the blackguard (or death domain warpriest) has some implement powers instead of just weapon based ones too.

 

[Zaran]

Ki expertise might be the first printed feat that's affects only core rules since essentials. Unless the assassin has ki powers? Pleasantly surprised.
