[QUOTE="cooperflood, post: 4972393, member: 55481"] The idea of scaling feats isn't exactly a new idea, but that doesn't mean it's not a good one. One of the more interesting systems that explored the idea of scaling feats was written by Frank and K. Their feats scaled based on your BAB or Skill Ranks (depending on the feat). Here is one example: [B]Iron Will [Combat][/B] [FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1][B]+0: [/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1]You gain a +3 bonus to your Willpower saves.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [LEFT][B][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1]+1: [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1]You gain the slippery mind ability of a Rogue.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/LEFT] [B][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1]+6: [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1]If you are stunned, you are dazed instead.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [B][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1]+11: [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1]You do not suffer penalties from pain and fear.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [B][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Bold][SIZE=1]+16: [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1]You are immune to compulsion effects.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=CenturySchL-Roma][SIZE=1] [/SIZE][/FONT] [LEFT] These feats are obviously more powerful than anything written by WotC, but they do give some interesting ideas.
