Opinions on a feat

[wolfpunk]

Well I don't know if we want to turn this thread into a specialized skill feat discussion, but I will offer this idea for a feat.

Theatrical [General]
You are skilled in the arts of theater.
Benefit: You recieve a +2 bonus to Knowledge (theater), Perform (choose 1 type), and Craft (for making props).

Why not? We seem to do a good job about hijacking threads!

That's another good feat idea.

 

[wolfpunk]

Ok well then if we are going to hijack the thread, lets tackle the Diplomacy idea.

Skills that come to mind immediately, speak language (race type), decipher script (race type), diplomacy (race type), and knowledge (race type, or things like cultuer, nobility, etc).

Since speak languages allows your to read and write the language you know if you are literate we could remove decipher script which leaves us with

speak language, diplomacy, and knowledge\

So we come up with the feat

Cultural Ambassador
You are skilled in dealing with a race other then your own.
Benefit: Choose a spefic race. You receive a +2 bonus to Diplomacy (race type), and Knowledge (race type), you also receive Speak Language (race type) if you do not already have it.

Thoughts??

 

[Crothian]

That's pretty good. If one has the language it seems a little weak though. But I perfer weak feats to strong feats so I'm okay with this.

Anyone have a webpage where this stuff can get posted? We seem to be coming up with (at least in my opinion) some pretty good ideas and I'd hate to see them lost in the pits of the message boards.

 

[wolfpunk]

We could offer Decipher Script (race type) as well, but that would give us three skills and a language in a single feat. That might be getting a bit overpowered, but then again, it is only for one race, so it is very specific.

As to a webpage. Hmm good question. I am pasting these into my own list of feats to use, so i would have them to pull up if someone needed them, but putting them on a webpage could be a good thing too.

and the book wasn't by feist, it was the autobiography of english poet laurie lees...

Hey, I am taking the Cultural Ambassador idea, except I will change it as so:

Cultural Ambassador [General]
You are skilled in dealing with a race other than your own.
Prerequisites: Speak language (race type)
Benefits: Choose a specfic race. You receive a +2 bonus to Diplomacy (race type), sense motive (race type), and Knowledge (race type).
Normal: You don't get jack.
Special: You may use these skills even if they are not on your class list, although you would still have to pay the cross-class monster to increase your ranks beyond what this feat so graciously grants.

 

[Crothian]

You can use Sense Motive and Diplomacey without ranks, and using a knowledge skill without any ranks is allowed, you just can't get anything above basic knowledge. So, I'm not sure that part of the feat is really needed.
