[QUOTE="TBoarder, post: 477249, member: 272"] I thought the prerequisites were pretty fair. I used the default array as my baseline to see if the feat was fair, and if your character wants to concentrate on AC, he'd be stuck with both his Str and Dex at being 12 or under. Strength still has its importance due to the extra damage that it causes. I've decided that the feat from Swashbuckling Adventures that allows you to use your dex bonus for damage was too powerful for that very reason. Probably mostly for a bard. I wouldn't ever see a paladin take the feat because it only works when the character is unarmored (not that you can't have a paladin who specializes in fighting unarmored...). It would be 50/50 for a Sorcerer, depending on how willing he is to even get close to melee combat. You only have so many spells and can afford only so many items though. I've been comparing this with the Canny Defence ability that the Duelist from Sword & Fist recieves at 1st level. The player I've been debating this with has no problem with that ability, but thinks that including this feat in the mix would throw everything out of whack, while I believe that it actually gives the character a comparable AC to a normal, armored fighter of equal level. Never heard of it. :p Since I'm trying to create a viable low-strength, high dex fighter who doesn't wear armor, do you have any suggestions for alternatives if this feat is shot down completely? Thanks for your reply. :) [/QUOTE]
