[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 7227620, member: 82106"] I have little to add really. This is one of those cases where an errata has left dangling consequences. As you say, the DM is really the only possible arbitrator here. As for the balance aspect... Well, 'once per turn' striker bonus damage (which all the bonus die style strikers were updated to get) DOES increase their effectiveness, some. It can be fairly significant for certain styles of say melee oriented ranger/rogue with some controllery/defenderish kind of stuff going on. This is particularly true considering it is SO easy to get SA for rogues nowadays (one feat will pretty close to guarantee you always get it unless you use unusual tactics). OTOH it isn't QUITE so easy with warlocks, so this feat, properly interpreted, could be a pretty reasonable powerup for them. Still, it doesn't increase their damage output beyond what they could theoretically achieve already, its more just making it easier. Frankly, rule of cool, let it stand! That's my opinion. It may turn some encounter or other into salad, but something probably will anyway, lol. [/QUOTE]
