Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 4625489" data-attributes="member: 158">My problem: Playing a Crusader 17 / Warblade 1 Follower of Bane (LN) in a 3.5 campaign, one with all WotC books available. I'm picking my 18th level feat, and having a hard time picking a really worthwhile feat.Character concept: crusader who stands there are takes lots of abuse to deal out damage with his powers.stats: STR 25 (21), DX 12, CON 14, IN 12, WIS 10, CHA 12My feats:Exotic Weapon (Maul)Martial Study (Shadow Jaunt)Die HardMartial Stance (Aura of Perfect Order)Stone PowerAdaptive StyleExtra Granted ManeuverI'm trying to decide on a good feat to pick that offers the most combat advantage possible. Because of how few feats I picked from the core rules, I'm ineligible for a lot of the neat feats from Players Handbook 2. Stone Power lets me take anything with Power Attack as a prereq, but a lot of the feats in that chain depend on the extra damage done by Power Attack. I was thinking Defensive Sweep (opponent starts and ends his turn adjacent to you without moving, gain an op-attack), but it's not often that an opponent stands next to me for more than 2 rounds. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I could go cleave, I suppose, but the number of times I've been swarmed is pretty rare. Most of our foes that I can tackle are bruisers who I can take down in 2 or 3 rounds max (Thanks to things like Ancient Mtn Hammer or White Raven Hammer, etc.) I could just go plain ol' weapon focus, but it feels like a waste, kind of, though an extra +1 to hit is never a waste when you're using maxxed stone power every round.So my choices thus far:--Cleave--Defensive Sweep--Weapon FocusI am VERY weak when it comes to ranged attacks, but I'm not sure that one feat might help me shore that up at all -- I think I'm just consigned to have to come to the enemy, rather than tack them from range.Any other thoughts?Thanks!</blockquote>
