Special Round is Over!!

THIS ROUND IS OVER











Hi everyone,

This round is different, so please read the following carefully.

Thus far we have eliminated many feats per thread, and hence some feats have been eliminated with ony 5 or so votes, with no way of defending them. After this round, however, we will be only be eliminating one Feat per thread, and you will therefore be able to defend your choice of eventual winner with judicious voting.

However, some very worthy feats have been eliminated (some observers even going as far to suggest a certain flippancy on the part of the voters) so in order to quell any incipient controversy (and perhaps coax ex-voters back into the fold) this round offers everyone the chance to bring back their favourite feat.

So, before we begin our final phase of eliminations, please...

Vote for one Feat that you would like to be returned to the lsland!

I'll probably just return one feat, but If there is close competition, I may reintroduce 2. We'll see how it goes.

 

[mhacdebhandia]

POWER ATTACK

EMU? Why was it ever eliminated?

 

[diaglo]

skill focus (underwater basketweaving)

 

[Ahnehnois]

Only one? What happened to Improved Initiative, the rare non-archetype-specific feat?

 

[Zappo]

Power Attack. I don't know why it was eliminated anyway.

 

[Pinotage]

Combat Expertise

Bring it back! I love this feat, and my characters use it all the time. Like they say, the best offense is good defense!

Pinotage

 

[Gez]

Leadership

I just like that feat. I know it has no chance of coming back, but hey...

I kinda wanted to vote Toughness just to be flippant

, but it would only have been fun if everyone voted it back too.

 

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

Leadership

 

[BiggusGeekus]

Power Attack

Good Gravy, folks! It's not that bad.

I'm not a fan of Leadership, unless the game is a mass combat frenzy. In my arrogant opinion, Leadership should get you a naval vessel or army or town or something. Getting a bard a couple levels lower than you doesn't really do it for me.

 

[Gez]

Hey, a bard a couple levels lower than you can serve as emergency rations!


And there was much rejoicing!
