[QUOTE="Destil, post: 5018865, member: 1980"] Broken in all the bad ways. A Str/Con build can already take a feat to get better AC (it's called armor proficiency). The fact they 'fixed' this for the barbarian build that already had a decent option if they wanted AC, still left thanebornes out in the cold (yes, the class ability doesn't need much Cha, but all of their power kickers LOVE high Cha) is just sad. Rageblood can already generate temp easily HP and get plenty of surges, too. No way you can argue this feat being allowed to exist as written in a world where avengers aren't even allowed leather armor. The only build it makes sense for is the swarm druid, and there's a good 5 or 6 builds that just don't have an option to keep up in AC without bending stats in bad ways. High Str/Con builds like this already had feat options to fix it (again, heavy armor). I've fixed a handful of things (including AC scaling options for classes that actually have issues), but banning this was at the top of the list for a while. I'm seriously considering getting rid of their barbarian agility class feature, since they don't need it. But it hasn't come up (I think I would in a second if it did, until then I'm just being lazy). [/QUOTE]
