Round One is OVER

[Heathen72]

The First Round is over! The next thread will be up soon.


Okay Everyone.
Here it is - THE FEAT SURVIVOR THREAD. Here, we will discover which is the best feat. Or rather, which is the least unpopular! Over a series of rounds, we will eliminate a number of feats until only one remains - The Feat Survivor!

THE RULES

1) Each round will only last a day or two, so make sure you get your votes in!
2) Only one vote per person. One FEAT only - and no multiple persona's please
3) In the first few rounds I will eliminate more than one loser- this will help us get to the nitty gritty.
4) Make it obvious which Feat you are voting for, in bold, at the top of your post. Write what you like in defence of your choice, or about how your favourite was eliminated, but make it easy for me to collate results!
5) Once a new round has started - let the previous thread die. (I might even ask the moderators to lock it)
6) I've only chosen the Basic Feats from the 3.5 SRD - the 3.5 version of the feat is the one you should be basing your eviction on
7) You can't change your vote within a round.
8) You don't need a 'good' reason for your vote. Petty reasons are just fine.
9) Oh, and don't quote the initial post! It's too long!



So here they are - Pick ONE FEAT to be eliminated!

TOUGHNESS must be eliminated!

 

[Heathen72]

BREW POTION
Because I hate any spell or feat where there is an associated XP cost.

 

[Crothian]

COMBAT CASTING

it gets uselss fast as characters gain levels and even low level its usually better to spend skill points. .

 

[Matt Black]

TOUGHNESS

Another vote for Toughness. Not only is it underpowered and become a complete waste at high levels, but it's really, really boring! Toughness has to go.

 

[Roman]

Combat Casting

Combat casting becomes utterly useless very quickly as casters push their concentration skills to levels where it becomes impossible to fail a check in most situations. Toughness comes very close though. If either of those two feats is eliminated this round I will be happy.

 

[FroggusMaximus]

IMPROVED SUNDER [GENERAL]

it must go. i just can't think of a reason to burn a feat on something that will just end up taking cash out of my pocket in the end.

ARMOR PROFICIENCY (LIGHT)

I've never seen a character with any Armor Proficiency feat, and can't really think of a good reason to take one, especially not for light armor.

Although Toughness is nearly useless, there are still a few other feats that are completely useless.

ARMOR PROFICIENCY (LIGHT)

I've never seen a character with any Armor Proficiency feat, and can't really think of a good reason to take one, especiall not for light armor.

Although Toughness is nearly useless, there are still a few other feats that are completely useless.

I think armour proficiency is an option for conceptual reasons. People were compaining that in 2 edition wizards and many other classes absolutely cannot wear certain armour or use certain weapons whatever they do, so now they made it conceptually possible, but still not used in practice.

BREW POTION [ITEM CREATION]

Burning the mages XP is foolish since he has the fewest Hit Points per hit die and needs the levels more than other characters.
