Message: <blockquote data-quote="ivocaliban" data-source="post: 3257540" data-attributes="member: 17596">Races of the Wild includes the Agile Athlete feat: Prerequisites: Climb 1 rank, Jump 1 rankBenefit: When making a Climb or Jump check, you use your Dexterity modifer for the check.No Dex requirement; Swim skill isn't included.Also, it's not considered a fighter feat.EDIT: Just in case I wasn't clear in listing the Agile Athlete feat above, I also feel Skill Finesse is overpowered. It enhances three different skills (all three of which happen to be in the Fighter skill list), it enhances the importance of one of the already most important abilities (Dexterity), and it is also considered a Fighter feat.It seems obviously contrived for someone playing a Dexterity based Fighter or Fighter/Rogue. Adding this sort of feat to combinations involving multi-class Fighters, Rogues, Swashbucklers and the like would lead to imbalance. Particularly if you add in Prestige Classes like the Dread Pirate, Duelist, Thief-Acrobat, etc. In certain settings, this feat could be even more trouble. For instance, in a pirate/swashbuckling campaign like my own, this would definitely not be allowed. I think Agile Athlete is as good as it gets. Two skills only (climb/jump) and it's not considered a Fighter feat. If you want it, you have to spend a bonus or level feat.</blockquote>
