The Big Three Challenge

[Eltern]

Make a feat whose only prereqs are Iron Will, Great Fortitude, and Lightning Reflexes. I've seen many different varietes, but w/o any commentary on them. Post ones you like and someone else will tell you why it's not balanced

Oh, and please, something more interesting than "An additional +1 to all three saves" ::

Thanks,

This has been in my game since shortly after 3.0 first arrived...

RESILIENCE (General)

You are extremely resistant to attacks.

Prerequisites: Great Fortitude, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Toughness

I recall seeing some version that gave you damage reduction. I think I also saw another one that gave REGENERATION, but had a class level prereq, maybe...

I'll skip the prereqs since they're predefined.

Nine Lives
Fate seems to be on your side.
Benefits: Once per day, when you fail a saving throw, you may reroll the saving throw and take the better result.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you take it, you can use it one more time per day.

A variant on Anabstercorian's mechanic:

Graced
Requirements: Iron Will, Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes
Benefit: Once per day, you may choose to make a save instead of rolling. You must declare that you are using this ability before you roll.

-- N

What about this mechanism?

Once per week, you may gain a +3 bonus on a saving throw. You can use this ability after the roll.

Another, with the additional prereq of Luck of the Heroes (FRCS, +1 luck on all saves):
Once per day, you may reroll a saving throw whose result was a natural 1.

A variant on Anabstercorian's mechanic:
Graced
Requirements: Iron Will, Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes
Benefit: Once per day, you may choose to make a save instead of rolling. You must declare that you are using this ability before you roll.

Wow. Really inspired and balanced. Me like.

 

[the Jester]

I like both 'Graced' and Gez's idea. *swipes*

 

[Darklone]

I like all of them

Alright this one is really powerful but probably playable seeing the prereqs and the fact that all it really does is enable people to wear cloaks for style instead of cloaks of resistance.


Ineffable Luck
Prereqs: as defined
Benefit: You gain a bonus to all saving throws equal to 1 + 1/5 character levels (max +5 at 20th level)
