[QUOTE="Mordane76, post: 681804, member: 7172"] Said fighter would not be an inferior fighter. He also has his fighter bonus feats. If this character wants this kind of access to heightened saves, then he should multiclass -- that's what the option is there for! A fighter could take X levels in fighter and then, if lawful, multiclass into monk. It wouldn't necessarily work vice versa (depending on if you enforce the multiclass restriction for monks), however. I think that allowing stacking feats of any type other than those which already state they stack is just asking for trouble -- in this case, you're manipulating a section of the engine (saves) that is in CONSTANT use, and there is no way to be certain that this seemingly little change won't derail a campaign down the road without playtesting. As for the idea of restricting the number of times you can apply a feat to a specific save, you're still playing with fire. Stacking restrictions, I would hope, should have been playtested to see if they work. I'll assume that such is the case for this purpose, and that the reason the restriction is in place is because the WotC playtesters saw its effects durin g their sessions. Now, you want to allow stacking in limited instances... I think that doing so will just open a new can of worms. If you're going to do it, I think it has to be an all-or-none thing; either you can stack it, or you can't. Anything in between seems lacking and heavy-handed. [/QUOTE]
