trade barberian trap sense for?

[ceratitis]

hi guys
i'm building a barb and dont really like the trap sense ability. any sugestions a to what i can ask my DM to replace it with? minor balanced idea's are ok, cool barbarian sounding special abilities are better
thanks

It's an almost entirely useless ability. Even more useless than the Rogue's ability of the same name and mechanics, simply because Rogues are expected to spend some quality time in the proximity of traps.

You shouldn't get anything for it. It should just never come up. It's not even worth as much as Toughness.

Cheers, -- N

I would say Toughness or Endurance. A weak feat at best.

 

[ceratitis]

fair enough, i'll aim for endurance or toughness and see what he says. thanks

I think Endurance is the best you could hope for; at least that way you can go for Diehard early.

i agree with Nifft
you shouldnt get something for nothing

that said, i think barbarians have trap sense and uncanny dodge for the same reason
so i'd allow dropping trap sense, UD, and IUD in exchange for a useful ability
