Why use the same modifiers for different characters? Shouldn't your monk strike from her inner self, instead of relying on brawn like a barbarian? Shouldn't your wizard plot the trajectory of his missiles, using his mind as much as his eyes? Now they can, with new ways of using alternate stats in a variety of situations.

Straight-forward, useful, very affordable

5/5

Expanding on the precedent set by Agile Manoeuvres and Weapon Finesse in the PFRPG Core Rulebook, this collection of feats allows characters to substitute one ability-score modifier for another when handling specific skills or other mechanics. Caged Dragon Games wisely included pre-requisites for each feat, and caps on the relative improvement, to confound would-be min-maxers, but these feats allow a great deal of flexibility in crafting a character to fit your particular concept.

Now, if you're looking for a .pdf with a lot of ruffles and flourishes, this one will disappoint you: it's twelve pages of mostly-black text on white background, single-column (apart from the table of feats at the front), there's no art or navigational bookmarks, and half of the file is taken up by a title-page, a blank 'inside cover', and four pages of OGL legalese and copyright acknowledgements at the back. But even so, you're paying less than a single American dollar for six pages of 'crunch' that will give you a great many more 'build' options, and that's a damned good deal in my book.

(As a footnote: Caged Dragon are also spot-on about their customer-service. When I pointed out a couple of errors in this product, a corrected version was uploaded to Paizo.com less than thirty-six hours later. Considering that I made the report from the other side of the world, that's a turn-around speed many of the 'big' publishers would envy!)

Any info about what is in this product? Does it include alternate state options for all classes or just a few?


This product details a number of feats that allow you to use one ability score in place of another, similar to the way you use Dex instead of Str with weapon finesse. The feats are not class specific, although some are of greater benefit to some classes than others.
Thank for your inquiry.


Interesting concept, and cheap enough for an impulse buy. Unfortunately, my eye homes in on typos, 'wrong words', and other lexical errors, and in my first quick skim, I spotted two:

* "Agile Athlete:
You really on nimbleness instead of brawn in physical activity."
I think the auto-correct tripped you up, here: I think this should be 'rely'.

* The other issue is the entirety of the 'Force of Personality' feat. It's aimed at improving Will saves, but Will saves are modified by Wisdom, not Constitution as the pre-reqs imply, nor Charisma as the feat's descriptive text says. Not to mention that "You use Charisma instead of Charisma on Will saves" is meaningless grammatically.

A nice idea, certainly well-intended, but in its current form, it needed one more beta-pass. Sorry. :S


You are absolutely correct. Thank you for noticing. The typos and feat description have been changed.
I really do value feedback. If anyone has other comments or requests I try to check the boards frequently, or I can be emailed at cageddragongames@gmail.com.
Once again, thanks for buying my product.

Thank you for the swift response to the error-report! Now that my finicky eye isn't hung up on the minor things, I can properly enjoy what you've created. And it is good work: the internal logic is consistent through-out, you wisely incorporated measures to curb the min-maxers, and you kept the feat-names straight-forward and intuitive, rather than being overwhelmed by the temptation to get too cute. This is a solid product. Well done. :D


Thank you. I appreciate your opinion, and hope you check out the other Caged Dragon products. I would love some feedback on them as well, from you and everyone else out there. It is very important to us to have a good quality level, and if anyone spots a mistake I promise to fix it ASAP. It is also important to us as a new company to get feedback, and all comments are welcome.


This is the kind of prompt responses I like to see. Will be checking this and your other products out ASAP.
