Heroes of the Fallen Lands - Feat Preview

[Herschel]

It seems odd to me that a feat which boosts Will defense requires a high Wisdom or Charisma scores. Sure, it makes simulationist logic, but I'd think the feat would be most useful to PCs who are in a class/build that has a weak Will defense because it relies on neither Wisdom or Charisma. Then it could boost classes with unusually low Will defeneses, rather than giving characters with already high will defenses an even more un-hittable number, which 4e is generally supposed to avoid.

I like it this way, actually. When you buff a defense with a good stat bonus already, it makes a really good defense but doesn't shore up a weakness and make a charcter too "even". For example: that Dwarf Cleric now has an iron will but I can still smack his reflex six-ways to Sunday.
