Worst Feat Ever

[sfedi]

Has there been a poll on the worst feat?

 

[two]

Weapon Specialization: Net usually comes near the top.

 

[FireLance]

In a recent Feat Survivor thread, Toughness and Combat Casting were the first two eliminated.

With Improved toughness (What toughness should have been), toughness is generaly sucks.

 

[Goolpsy]

any feat giving +2 to 2 skills... they aren't really usable... a +2 bonus isn't that much (10%), specially not worth a feat...

Really?

My next Eberron character is planning on picking up a couple of those feats ...

if you want skills.. buy an item... They're completely useless..

Except at low levels... Dodge suck too... +1 armor against one creature... :S
I usually alter it to +1 armor... The other thing slows combat and is nearly useless..
speacially with creatures above Challenge Rating 3...

I agree - these are really crappy feats.

Gotta be Toughness. It's a weak feat at first level and a waste of a feat slot at any higher level. I've never known anybody to take core rules toughness for their character and changing Toughness to 1 HP/level seems to be one of the most common house rules out there.

Runners up: Combat Casting (why get a +4 bonus to one use of a skill when you could get a +3 bonus to all uses of the same skill) and Endurance (the addition of Die Hard makes Endurance slightly better in 3.5 but it still isn't too good, PC's dont' tend to get in forced march situations too often)


The +2 to 2 skills feats can be quite usefull, depending on the character build and skills in question. Not universally desierable but not the Worst Feat Ever by any stretch of the imagination.

Later.

Which assumes:

a) That magic items are just sitting around waiting to be bought.
b) That use activated skill enhancing items exist and are affordable.
c) That your DM isn't calling for skill checks all the time.
