[Kwalish Kid]

Awesome.

I will be using some of these in my game.

 

[Crothian]

Double Stab: Should that be with only the wepon you take weapon focus in?

High Stakes Gambit: So, as a full round action one can throw 3 datrs, but all the darts are at -4 to hit? And how are you making other attacks if throwing the darts takes a full round action?

Mighty Chucker: Does this apply to all thrown weapons or only the ones in re prerequiste? And how does a small shield hinder you?

Experienced Glaver: Is this when charging with the Galive or any weapon?

Trippy Flourish: With just the weapons listed or any tripping weapon? And bonus to resist being tripped always apply or just when welding the weapon?

Sappy Attack: Does the feint bonus apply if using any wewapon or only the sap?

And I could go on. The feats are okay, but really need to be defined better.

"Each of these feats can only be taken if proficiency in the specific weapon is had, and in many cases only if weapon focus is had by the potential weilder. Additionally, most of these benefits only occur while wielding the appropriate weapon(s). "

Sorry, I meant for the definition of a [Weapon Feat] to be that it only works for that particular weapon.

The thrown weapon cannot be used with a shield because my reasoning was thus:

Using a weapon with 2 hands gets you Str+half damage. Since you don't really throw something with 2 hands, although perhaps a large enough spear you could, you can't use a shield in the other hand when you throw it.

For High Stakes Gambit the idea was a low-level character could take the feat for multiple (albeit weak) ranged attacks. Its ideal for a wizard or rogue who wont be getting multiple attacks for a while. At first I had that attack and all other attacks at -2, but that seemed bordering on too powerful, perhaps it should be -3. The other attacks for the rest of the round apply to say a monk taking the skill, if he makes an AoO's, they will also be at -4.

Any of the bonuses only apply when wielding any of the weapons in the prereqs. Sorry for any confusion.

That's fine and what I figured. Nice job on them, I like them.

[silvertable81]

My single problem is with Sappy Attack. The very nature of the weapon (a bag of sand) prevents the weapon from doing anything BUT subdual damage. Maybe I'm just too picky. Other than that, a great concept has been hatched.

 

[ConcreteBuddha]

The one's I like:

Double Stab (Dagger only, can't be combined with TWF)
Experienced Slinger
Mighty Chucker
Experienced Glaiver
Trippy Flourish
Flailing Manuevers
Tridentius Chargus Defensus
Halbredier
Agile Poker
Nunchaku Master
Routine Reloading


Pretty much all of the ones that make crappy weapons better. I find that good weapons don't need to be made any better. Honestly, I have rarely seen these weapons in combat:

dagger, sling, thrown weapons, glaive, halberd, spears, guisarme, flails, trident, halberd, nunchaku, crossbows

Your feats make these weapons a viable choice. Not overpowered, but still a bit more effective. I think I may even use these in my next game. Good job.

 

[dkilgo]

I like the feats, and will have to try them out.

Thanks

 

[Buddha the DM]

Some of these are really good. I'll have to show them to my brother to see what he thinks of them.
