Message: <blockquote data-quote="exempt" data-source="post: 1537697" data-attributes="member: 852">I'm still getting the hang of 3.5e, and so some of these may not be pertinent.I use some flavor feats for my OA setting:Tea Master [General]You have discovered not only calmness but purpose in the way of serving tea.Prerequisites: 4 or more ranks in Craft (Tea Ceremony)Benefit: You gain +2 bonus to saving throws against fear and a +2 bonus to Concentration.Poetry Master [General]Your verse imparts a virtue into the way you relate to the world.Prerequisite: 4 or more ranks in Craft (Poetry)Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Innuendo and Diplomacy checks.Painting Master [General]Your ability to depict life enhances your own life.Prerequisite: 4 or more ranks in Craft (Painting)Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Search and Concentration skill checks.Flower Arranging Master [General]Your expertise in ikebana, flower arranging, allows you insight into normal life.Prerequisites: 4 or more ranks in Craft (Flower Arranging)Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Detect Motive and Innuendo.Calligraphy Master [General]Your mastery in shodo, the art of calligraphy, extends into your daily life.Prerequisites: 4 or more ranks in Craft (Calligraphy)Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Intuit Direction and Innuendo skill checks.Any many more feats.  Combat house rules are:Crossbows can be fired at an adjacent target without drawing an attack of opportunity from the target. Other creatures threatening the crossbow-wielder are allowed attacks of opportunity against her however, for firing a missile weapon. Loading a crossbow draws an attack of opportunity as usual.A loaded crossbow be used to flank an adjacent target.Iaijustu damage in normal combat applies to the first strike against a flat-footed opponent when the weapon is being drawn. It cannot be applied to unarmed attacks. Perhaps this could be better explained in the OA book so it wouldn't need a house rule.To fire more than one arrow or throw more than two hand-held missile (assuming one is held in the off-hand ready for use), a character must also possess the Quick Draw feat. In other words, to attack multiple times in a round with a bow, a character must have the Quick Draw feat.  Sorry, Legolas.Creatures immune to certain weapons are not threatened by them (e.g., a nonmagical sword vs. an incorporeal creature). If a creature is not threatened by a weapon, it cannot be flanked by its wielder. Wielders of "ineffective" weapons are allowed attacks of opportunity against opponents they cannot hit (though it does them little good).</blockquote>
