Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spindel" data-source="post: 316334" data-attributes="member: 6746">Skill MasteryPrereq: Skill Focus (in the skill your selecting)            10 ranks in the skillBenefit: The player chooses a single feat which they can then "take 10" with, regardless of circumstances.Normal: A character can only "take 10" if there are no distracitons.This is exactly like the special class ability the rogue can eventually take (can't remember what it's called), which is what makes it my biggest concern.  On the flip side, I don't see why only rogues can get that confident at something.  This feat would also breath some life into the Skill Focus feat as it's only at it's most benificial at 1st level (+2 bonus on top of 4 ranks is a 67% increase, whereas at 20th level, +2 bonus on top of 23 is +9%... woohoo).The 10 rank prereq I've come across is based on guarenteeing an unmodified result of 20, a means the feat is only available at 8th level, which may be a bit much of a penalty as it only applies to a single skill (unlike the rogues ability), so maybe downgrade it to 9 ranks or something.I guess this one could be followed up with Skill Perfection, which allows you to "take 20" but I'm not sure how that would fit in and I haven't done any reading into Epic stuff.</blockquote>
