[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 3017971, member: 40749"] Not really a critique, no. Just more clarificaton. For the initial feat Bladebound Spirit, I think it would be ideal to explicitly state what exactly an ancestral weapon is, and a (suggested?) special requirement that shows how a character would become bonded to the weapon. Calling the weapon is likely a Spell-like ability (possibly supernatural), and probably a Conjuration effect. Stating that would be useful for dealing with how the calling effect interacts with magic effects like [I]dimensional anchor[/I] and [I]dispel magic[/I]. If the effect isn't intantaneous, it could be forcefully dismissed. I just thought: would the weapon take on the character's alignment traits? That is, if the PC was a Lawful character, would the weapon become [Lawful] and strike through Damage reduction/chaotic? I don't really think it would be good to require another feat, perhaps it is part of the Amalgamated Bladebound Spirit feat? If you took it as soon as possible, that would be at 10th level, around the same time as a Monk gets Ki Strike (Lawful). That seems about right. Also, would these feats be on the Fighter Bonus feat list? If so, you should state that, and add the (fighter) descriptor. [/QUOTE]
