He changes it so that it allows him a +2 bonus against 1 individual. He posts it to the Wotc boards. Immediately he gets 1 or two replies saying yeah it might work, but then the rabid magic players show up, with posts like "The feat is balanced, as are most Wotc feats, (the original post went on about official wotc feats and all that) and you are only changing it because you are a power gamer, and you're probably going to give it to your character down the line. what do you think the same post would have gotten at enworld?Spycraft already did it, man. It works well in that game, so it should work well in your game. Considering in core d&d there are umpteen million ways to increase your attack bonus and like 4 and a half ways to raise your ac, i don't think making the dodge bonus from the dodge feat +2 instead of +1 against 1 individual is going to bring down the whole world (or make Whirlwind attack, or Spring Attack, or a slew of other feats requireing dodge as a prerequisite overpowering).well...I'm out of gas. does anyone else have a similar experience?kc</blockquote>
