[QUOTE="Mistah J, post: 5503630, member: 29527"] Hey everyone, So, a player of my game has decided to take the Vow of Poverty for his character. I've got no problem with this except that I find the exalted feats available are somewhat lacking both in strength and number. With all the bonus exalted feats the VoP grants, my player is going to run out of options. So I thought I would make up some of my own to help pad things out and this is my first one: [SIZE=2][B]FEARLESS [EXALTED][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Your indomitable courage makes you unshakable in the face of danger.[/SIZE] [SIZE=2][B] Benefit:[/B] You are immune to fear effects (both magical or otherwise).[/SIZE] [SIZE=2][B] Special:[/B] To maintain the benefit of this feat, you must swear an oath to uphold noble causes and vow to never cower or back down from performing acts of good, no matter who or what might try and prevent or otherwise deter you from doing so.
