[QUOTE="GuardianLurker, post: 463666, member: 786"] Um. This feat doesn't address the problem - the character still needs the Sneak Attack ability first. The task is to find a (still potential) feat that allows non-rogues to perform carefully placed "called shots" (see my earlier posts), without having to take rogue levels. Ruvion: I like the light armor limitation and requirement. It makes the feat much harder to take for sorcerors and wizards. Which is probably a good thing. It still leaves clerics relatively easy access to the feat, but I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. (Correction, it's a minor bad, but I don't know how I'd fix it.) It does get me to thinking about how it effects each of the core classes, however.
