[QUOTE="handforged, post: 1285269, member: 2027"] Here is my rewording of the two feats. I have included some prerequisites, that I think are fair for a power like this. I also think that a sixth level fighter with this feat chain will do some major damage. [U][B]Gather the Storm:[/B][/U] You focus your energy inwards during a battle, storing it for a spectacular display of power. [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Wisdom 13+, Alertness, BAB +3 or higher [B]Benefit:[/B] As part of any Total Defense action, you may choose to gather the storm. You may gather the storm multiple times before attacking, stacking up as many storms as you like, but you must release all of them at the same time. As a free action, you may unleash all of your held storms. This causes all attacks made within that round (including attacks of opportunity) have their potential damage multiplied by the number of storms you have gathered plus one. Gathering the storm is a supernatural ability and is overtly aggressive. [B]Special:[/B] You may only gather the storm once for each point of base attack bonus you possess before unleashing the storms. [B]Special:[/B] At the end of any action other than using the Gathering the Storm feat or a single movement, if you are holding at least one storm, you must suceed a Concentration check (DC = last round's DC + number of storms, starting with DC 1) or all of the charges dissipate uselessly and you become fatigued for a number of rounds equal to the number you failed the check by. [U][B]Eye of the Hurricane[/B][/U] [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Wis 13+, Sense Motive skill, Gather The Storm, Alertness, BAB +6 or higher [B]Benefit:[/B] As part of any Total Defense action, you may study one opponent. This hostile action gives you a +1 circumstance bonus to AC, and a +2 circumstance bonus to hit against that opponent during the round in which you next attack that opponent(this includes all attacks made against this opponent during the round including attacks of opportunity). [B]Special:[/B] This feat may be used consecutively and the bonuses stack for as many rounds as you have points of base attack bonus. [B]Special:[/B] Attacking an opponent other than the one designated during the Total Defense action forfeits all bonuses. Take a level six fighter. If he only waits for three rounds, during which he can still move because Total Defense is a standard action, he will be attacking at +12/+7, damage will be x4 for the weapon, and he has an additional +3 to AC against the opponent he is attacking. None of this includes Str or magic bonuses. ~hf [/QUOTE]
