I noticed that Overwatch Style was banned from pfs, and multiple discussions cited stuff like table variation for applying the readied action to a single trigger, and slowing down play by repeatedly shifting initiative. I couldn't find such an explanation for why the Hindering Shot weapon trick was banned. Anyone care to weigh in, or point me towards the answer?
Hi all, I've found a lot of anecdotal evidence (various character builds by nobody of repute) that Glibness works to bolster the bardic masterpiece Pageant of the Peacock. However, Glibness states it only applies to "convince another of the truth of your words. This bonus doesn't apply to other uses of the Bluff skill, such as feinting in combat, creating a diversion to hide, or communicating a hidden message via innuendo." Is there a hard answer to whether it works in this case?
I am looking to play a character with the poorly regarded feat, Death or Glory. Don't worry about telling me to choose something else instead of this feat; the rest of the build is so sub-optimized, there's no saving me ;). What I am looking for are ways to chew up a foe's swift/immediate action, so that they cannot take advantage of the strike back against me per Death or Glory. Please no 3rd party or homebrew material. Doesn't have to be PFS legal, but must be Paizo. I am open to hearing other ways to avoid the enemy's retaliatory strike, but am not interested in the reach/lunge/'other out of range options'. So far the best I have come up with is having Shatter Defenses & Disheartening Display & Violent Display and hoping to frighten the opponent before it can swing back. But now we're talking about 3 feats (+ their 2 prerequisite feats, Weapon Focus & Dazzling Display) to backup a largely situation feat. Anyone have any bright ideas? |
