Name this Feat

[ChrisHaines]

I haven't seen this as a feat anywhere, although I haven't looked at all published material. I got the idea from one of the teamwork abilities in PHBII. I haven't come up with a name for it yet. I was hoping after everyone's critical evaluation and approval that someone could suggest a good title for the feat.

Name?
Prerequisite - Improved Initiative, Combat Reflexes
Benefit - If you are not suprised during a suprise round you may perform a full round of actions instead of just a partial action.

Ambush Mastery

I think it's a bit underpowered, since most people won't be able to get off full attacks anyway (thanks to positioning), but if a player wants it, I'd let him have it.

It would be great for an archer or spellcaster who gets good use out of full-round actions.

Ambush Mastery is good, how about Surreptitious Surprise?

It would be great for an archer.

What spells have full-round actions to cast (not 1-round actions)? I can't think of any. Am I missing something?

Thanks, -- N

Summoning spells.

 

[Machiavelli]

Bingo. Summon a monster in the surprise round, so that when the battle really joins, you already have an extra ally to rely on. That's one of the problems with summoning: one wasted round casting the spell.

 

[Nifft]

Summoning spells.

... are 1-round, not full-round. The difference is huge.
