[QUOTE="zyzzyr, post: 982685, member: 1867"] re: focused strike ... well, my plan was actually +level*2 str for one action - which would mean on one attack at level 15: +15 to attack, +15 to damage. However, it would only be 1/day. More powerful than +2 att/+20 dam, but useable only once/day. You're right, and thanks for the pointer because I hadn't thought of it this way, it's really a "smite" power. Yes FS is not underpwoered compared to a typical feat. I meant that if you replace FS with another bonus feat instead, then basically you just get fast healing, DR, and a few feats. The class as written would actually get less than that - bonus to AC and a few cure spells. So, to sum it up I think I'm going to keep DR, replace Cure light wounds with Fast Healing, and make Focused Strike a sort of "smite" power. I am tossing back and forth the following configuration, though. "smite" replaces a single melee attack, usable only a few times/day. OR "smite" is an attack action (replaces a full attack action), usable at will OR "smite" is an attack action (replaces a full attack action), usable only a few times/day The last is definitely the weakest. Note that even though I am calling it "smite", it would also be usable outside of combat - to break down a door, or use in conjunction with a skill, e.g. so really it's a "feat of strength". This versatility (and the fact that it would be +15 att/+15 dam!) made me want to make it only 1/day - perhaps as an attack action. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
