The new parry feat is great! Should be in a WotC book, IMHO. Fantasy novels are full of tales of fighters doing exactly that thing. Bravo!

Woohoo! :)


Offensive strike is as powerful as power attack. But most feats are not as powerful as power attack. So adding this feat gives an unbalanced and unplanned boost to fighters. Power attack is in the books to balance fighters against spell-casters IMO. Thus, the logical thing is to not allow offensive strike to be used with power attack. That keeps everything level.

That's sounds reasonable.


A better way to deal with the problem is to give druids spells & items that add fixed bonuses. Example:

Wilderness Blend as listed by you is very much like Camouflage, a 1st level Druid spell in Masters of the Wild.

I'm still with Howlingwolf in that Druids get the shaft in some wilderness skills. IMO, they should be remedied without the use of spells (because that assumes that the Druid can't do it himself). Then again, I think the Druid also should have gotten the Track feat as well.
