Intuitive Attack alternative

[questbreaker]

intuitive attack is an exalted feat (BoED) that lets you use your WIS mod instead of your STR mod with a limited selection of weapons. my question is, is there a feat that does this that isnt an "exalted" feat? i would love to have this feat for my druid, but i have a neutral alignment and thus do not qualify.

First of all, note that it only uses WIS for attack bonus not damage (as I recall).

Secondly, I'd not allow it for wildshaped or shapechanged forms in general just an an issue of balance (those things don't need a power up)

Lastly, I'd say sure. It doesn't seem unbalanced to me (other than for wildshapers in general).

Honestly, I don't know if that's true. While, yes, druids do tend to end up particularly high Wisdom scores, while wildshaped they have phenomenal Strength. At 8th level, for instance, they can assume the form of a polar bear, with a 27 Strength. The odds of their Wisdom being high enough by 8th level to benefit from having it replace the Strength score are incredibly low, and even if it is, I suspect the bonus will be extremely minor. The strongest form they can ever take, core, is the dire bear (I think), with a 31. Frankly, I don't see it as all that common for a druid to have a substantially higher Wisdom, at any level.

I would make it a general feat for a campaign. Darth Vader would certainly be a template for the feat and he's a mean summamabish.

Darth Vader?

High Wisdom?

Did you watch the same movies I did?

Humm, I thought some errata had changed wildshape to be based on the PCs physical stats. Haven't had a wildshaper in a long time...

no, you might be thinking of the assume supernatural ability feat, where things like a dragons breath are still functions of your player's CON, not the wild shape form's CON.

if wild shape were based off the characters stats, druids would be screwed because then NOTHING would be a dump stat. except maybe CHA.
