Round 14 Is Over

[White Fang]

Precise Shot must Die! If you are dumb enough to stand in front of the archers then you deserve to be SHOT!

 

[the Lorax]

I'm still not a fan of the SR rules, and with the ever increasing number of spells that ignore SR, the time for SR (and thus Spell Penetration) to leave has come.

 

[Romnipotent]

Spell Penetration! until its gone its my vote

 

[cthulhu_duck]

How can people vote against Power Attack when it's the basic combat feat?

(A) In 3.5, with the doubling of damage from two handed attacks, it leads to twinky munchkin behaviour like the party rogue using a Falchion two handed in their sneak attack.
(B) It's only of use in Melee attacks - which reduces it's usability to non melee fighting types - and requires a Strength of 13.
(C) No comparable feat that relies on high DEX to allow you to damage your foes in other ways than just raw brute force
...

 

[S'mon]

I voted TWF, it suxx. PA ROXXXXX!!!!!!!

 

[Kelleris]

Precise Shot

Because taking a feat to avoid a penalty is okay in the Little Leagues, but it is teh suck once you move up to this register.

 

[Greylock]

Two Weapon Fighting is a CLASS FEATURE, not a feat!

I don't agree. It's hardly in the same class as Track, Improved Unarmed Strike or Weapon Specialisation et al. It makes sense for any melee char who decides to take up dual wielding.

A) And how is this automatically twinky munchkin behaviour? If the rogue wants to carve 'em up with a falchion, more power to him I say, he has to multiclass or blow the feat to do it anyway! At any rate, in 3.0 the only use for Power Attack was as a prerequisite for Cleave.

B) The whole point of a melee fighter is to be strong, so the Str 13 is irrelevant.

B+C) D&D rewards the person who takes the risk by going toe to toe with the enemy, that's why its easier to hurt the enemy with close combat than a bow.

As THE main combat feat, and with glorified class features like Two Weapon Fighting and Weapon Finesse still around, I can't see how anyone is voting for Power Attack.

Spell Penetration.

Should be more of a bonus, say +3 or +4. [Yes, I know Greater Spell Penetration exists. That too, should be a greater bonus]

 

[Gez]

TWF as a class feature, heh? Then it should be a class feature for rogues, monks, rangers, fighters, druids, bards, clerics, and a racial trait for elves, gnomes and halflings.

Nah. Precise Shot is the least useful of the remaining feats.
