PHB 3 Feat List

[BobTheNob]

Superior implement training has got me interested. Has anyone got any info as to what superior implements will be?

 

[Garthanos]

Nah, now they can pick between UA and Leather prof. Makes it a choice rather than a no-brainer for cloth-wearing classes to pick it before leaving Heroic.

Yup
I may skin it as ritual rune shield and have hovering runes over the cloth.

I may skin it as my characters native power enhancing the cloth armor to greater awesomeness.

Or skin it as a glowing translucent golden armor enwrapping my character and gaining power and leaching effects from the magic in the cloth armor worn underneath.

Really lets me have the flavor of my choice - Whereas - Leather made it feel a little locked down and contrary to type.

Also, we don't have the full text. It may not stack with the Avenger or Monk class features.

WotC have actually previewed the Unarmored Agility feat on their Customer Help Page. The only thing that isn't in the feat list is that it gives a +2 feat bonus to AC, so it won't stack with the (mainly Paragon tier) feats that also give feat AC bonuses.

Having it a feat bonus is a good start.

Having it a feat bonus is a good start.

I wish they did that with a lot more feats!

I just had a look at the Compendium and noticed that the Paragon tier feats I was thinking of were all the armor specialization feats, which obviously won't be clashing with this one. So there really isn't much of a downside. And Avengers get their AC back.

And Avengers get their AC back.

Woot!

I am rather surprised that one feat made it onto the FAQ preview.

I wonder if they shouldn't have created a further bonus type.
We have:
- enhancement
- item
- feat
- power
- unnamed

Maybe we should also have
- circumstance.
This one would be granted by all those feats that give unnamed bonuses.

A goal for the "optimizer" would then be to find a set of feats that gives him the circumstance bonus in most situations.

Hell, it's a decent feat to take on a rogue: some of those cloth armors have some nice stuff.

I just had a mental image of a Rogue PC at a bigwig noble's ball dressed in expensive nobles' clothing (cloth armor) and still being well protected by his skills and training (unarmored agility).

Still, I hope it isn't too cheesy. I'm all for good options, just not another war over feat tax.

 

[BobTheNob]

Woot!

Whether this extra AC for clothies stacking for avengers is "woot" or not is really a question of perspective. Myself, I said "Woot" when errata clarrified Avenger AC and it got back to striker standard. When I saw this new feat, I said "Doh!"

 

[Mad Hamish]

Heck, there's some cloth only armour that is very tempting for an archer ranger as well.

There's one that means you don't provoke attacks of opportunity with ranged attacks in AV1 iirc.
Yep Shimmering Armour, very, very nice for an archer ranger.
