Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samuel Leming" data-source="post: 1977518" data-attributes="member: 16462">I resisted adding a feat like this at first because I was emotionally opposed(because Str already does so much), but I was having difficulty getting the variant fighters AC high enough.  Being hard to hit is a central concept of these kind of characters and not having access to magic armor and shields really hurts them.I settled on making the Blinding Speed feat really expensive and close to useless while wearing armor.You guys may be right.  As I warned in my first post, these feats certainly break in a game with mega-stats at low level.  Well, Power Attack and Cleave break under mega-stats too.Let's consider the Cleric, one of the classes I want to give the least to.  Unless he's an unarmed variant, a human cleric would need to be 3rd level to take the Intuitive Defense feat and a non-human would need to be 6th level.  Typically these clerics would already have a Wis of 16 or 17 for a +3 bonus.  Is it worth giving up three feats, two of which you'll probably never use, for a +3 bonus?  How about a +5 bonus(racial stat increase plus maybe 4th lvl stat increase), like some of the non-humans would get at 6th level?  It takes all three of your feats you have at that level to do this.  Is it worth it?  Myself, I can see doing this for the concept, but not for the power. Note: it's possible for a 1st level human unarmed variant cleric to do this, but he's given up armor use to make it happen.Let's also consider the wizard, a character very likely to have more than one mental stat bonus.  It wouldn't be uncommon for a 6th level human wizard to have a +3 int bonus and a +1 Wis bonus.  Is it worth a human wizard burning all four of his general feats for a +4 AC bonus?  If his stats are a little higher, is it worth all four feats for a +6?  Maybe, but you've 'defined' your character to do it.There may be something, other then uber-stats, that can break these.  Would somebody be able to post an example of these feats breaking?  Then I can attack and fix the problem in a concrete manner.Taking a look at these feats, stacked or otherwise, is why I posted.  The more eyes and minds the better.Sam</blockquote>
