[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4753062, member: 19675"] Thanks for the responses! 1) I'd like to look at the Archivist. In which book is it described? 2) I have an impression that some critters that are immune to SA damage don't have high ACs, so it would seem that it might make overcoming their otherwise potent defenses a little too easy. Perhaps if the critter's CR was added into the equation? 3) Its similar, but not quite the same. The Ranger's FE feature is automatic and takes no time. The FW alternate skill use of KS skills is just that- a test of skill. The Rogue must remember his lessons, analyze his foe, then act...something that delays his jumping into the fray. However, its also [I]broader[/I] than the Ranger's FE feature, since it can apply to any foe for which he has the appropriate KS skills, while Rangers only get new FEs every few levels. 4) I don't want to remove the crit immunity, just raise the likelihood that the Rogue will do [I]some[/I] kind of damage...effectively a BAB boost on that first roll against an opponent, but possibly a bit more with subsequent FR rolls. 5) That's not bad, but I [I]really[/I] want this to be something requiring a roll- a test of the Rogue's skills [I]at that instant,[/I] and not necessarily allowing SA damage that would normally be allowed. By making it a roll, he'll be able to use it against one foe of a given type, but may utterly fail against a similar foe in a subsequent- or even the same- melee. [B](I'm not decided either way as to whether SA damage should be allowed or not after a successful FW roll- feel free to try to sell me on either position.)[/B] 6) Lots of good stuff in there...I'll have to think about that some more.
