[QUOTE="Blue, post: 6822920, member: 20564"] I'm all for more uses of Intelligence. I'd also like to see a gifted linguist able to pick up enough common roots to convey ideas with a bit of immersion/study, though with a penalty to skills that require a shared language. Hmm, good point. It's nigh useless as it is now, but it's too good with sneak attack and such. Maybe removing the once per turn (it already does less with smaller dice so that's not abused by two weapon fighting), and also to make it "savage" add in the weapon die again on a crit (like the half orc racial). So with a longsword (d8) with a 50% chance to hit you would have (45% * 1.3) + (5% * (1.3+1.3+4.5)) = +0.94 damage per round per attack. Hmm, that's still really wimpy. (I counted the 1.3 twice on the crit because that is the weapon die and you'd get a chance to reroll both. Though it's really slightly less because you could have one higher and one lower and I didn't model that.) [/QUOTE]
