[QUOTE="Ltheb Silverfrond, post: 3006904, member: 39867"] U_K! 74 - With modifications to the prereqs of feat 99, feat 99 does this. 100 - This just seems silly. As an ability, its fine. When I read the feat, I just keep seeing "Druid Wildshape cheese" under the benifit heading:). It doesn't say if you can take it more times, or if its effect stack. I have seen some pretty nasty druid builds that involve a torrential onslaught of attacks, and this feat would make every druid want to be a Hydra. (or in FR, theres a hydra variety, less tough to kill, but poisonous :)) Epic Potency was in the Bestiary, and it is pretty basic. The Metamartial feats, if you need space for more feats could become standard metamartial effects like the others. Overall theres good stuff for all the classes in there, but Druids (who start to make less and less sense in epic anyhow) look like they get some big boosts in there. (They can take almost all the feats in there, save the bard and sneak-attack ones) I have no problem with druids, its just that in *most* epic games, players pile on immunities so fast that the threats to the party fall under only 2 catagories: Epic spells, and Absurd instakill melee. Sadly, thats what said players use too. Order of opperations, for me atleast in a game is a. - defense, b. - Epic spells for "defence/utility" (Ward vs Disjunction, Summon xxx Cr XXXXX creatures, etc.), c. - metamagic spam (GRRR Incantrix SMASH!), and d. - Fun feats (like Feat #1.) It is likely that your system wont have problems like this, and I doubt every one does this, but in general, in any epic game I have been in, if you didn't follow the steps in order, you became inferior and were simply there to carry the wizard's loot. Just my take, if you need em for prereqs and all, keep em. They just either sat as "Omni-Death-Omega" or "Oh, Ill pick that up.... Last. I need more Epic Potency so I can One-Shot-great-cleave a few Hecatoncheires" EDIT: How dare someone diss Three Weapon Fighting. Its so elite its crazy. I think the requirements need to be a bit higher though, perhaps. Heres a question: If I took three Weapon Fighting, do I get to fight with three weapons at once, or do I effectively get a third hand? Like could I fight with three Greatswords, a Longsword and a Greatsword, A greatsword and spiked shield, or just three longswords? EDIT Part II: Would your Mantic Frenzy feat count as a "rage" ability? I just like the idea of a wizard getting so angry at some poor peasent that (with the use of the Intimidating Rage feat) he screams something akin to "I will flay the skin from your bones, and animate half of you as undead!" and having everyone around him simply cower in terror. The Intimidate skill only goes so far. [/QUOTE]
