[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1276272, member: 5777"] My suggestion would be a series of feats culumulating in a very high power, high end feat. Feat XXXX: Prereq's: acrobatic, agile, alertness, combat expertise, dodge, improved initiative, int 15+, wis 15+ Benefit: As a full round action you may give up all of your attacks for this round. You gain a bonus to your ac equal to your BAB and your wis bonus (if you already have an ac bonus from wisdom use your charisma bonus as well). This bonus to ac is not used in crit confirmation against you. Each time you do this you store up an amount of points equal to your BAB which may be used within your intelligence bonus in rounds on your next strike or full round attack. These points are used all at once and add to attack and damage. The extra damage is not multiplied on a critical hit. Special: While you are using this feat each round everyone within 30' or who are observing you specifically within 100' may make a sense motive check dc 25 - the amount of points you have stored up to tell what you are about to do. Anyone who makes this check is considered to have an AC 5 higher for the purpose of your release strike. This check takes no actions. --- I really wanted to include power attack, weapon specialization, improved critical, and quick draw to the list but that many feats would put it solely in the realm of high level fighters. That is ok sometimes, and not in others. Pretty well necissary to take at least a couple levels of fighter or psychic warrior. A level 20 fighter with a 15 int could have up to a +40 attack and damage on one round of striking. Since this could be 4 attacks (or more if twf) it is hard to say if this is overpowered or not. Since he had to give up at least 8 attacks to gain it though it doesnt seem too bad. +22 to ac represents his mastery of the technique and ability to not be hit, but a lucky crit could still take you down.
