System-unique Feats

[roguerouge]

Heroic Surge and Windfall are feats pretty specific to d20 Modern. I have no experience with them. How do they work out over time? The +3 to the wealth score seems like it would just go away fast and I'm not sure how to evaluate the +1 to Profession. And is having 1 round of haste per day worth a feat?

What's your experience?

Surge scales by level, by the way.

My experiences thus far: pretty much any player who knows about the existence of heroic surge and its availability in a game will make attempts to take it as early as humanly possible.

Windfall - I don't know, I haven't actually run or played in a game that used Modern's wealth mechanics.

Heroic Surge is in Star Wars d20 (the Revised Core Rulebook).

As I've only been the GM for it, I'm not sure how it is for PCs ... but for NPCs, it's nice. Also, because there is no haste spell, it's the closest thing to it.

As far as Windfall, I don't know. I've always used the Wealth DC to $$ table from d20 Future to convert wealth dc prices to normal dollar amounts.

For d20 M, I allow PCs to spend an action point for a Heroic Surge. So, the feat isn't required.

Heroic Surge is incredibly useful, that's why.. it's fairly high on the power scale, as far as Modern core goes.

The big effect on Windfall is that bump to profession. A small investiture in profession will quickly begin to churn out Wealth increases that keep their Wealth values up even as they purchase equipment.

true, and once you hit the magic 15 wealth, it gets a lot harder to loose wealth in most circumstances.
