4/5

Weighing in at 5 pages, with 1 page to cover, 1 to a feat list, 2 for description and 1 to the OGL, we have here one fourth of the freshman offering from new 3PP Abandoned Arts. With 22 feats offered in this volume, the focus is on the combat feat, more specifically the fighter class, and what can be added to the pool of bonus feat options for said class.

Format and editing follow the dual column approach for the descriptive entries, with the feat list adhering to the standard table format, with alternating colors for ease of reading and grouping. Excellent choices ont eh colors for this, as they are muted enough to not get in the way, but pronounced enough to do the job. Only oddity that stuck out was the apparent changing of font setting for the term BAB in a few spots. Not sure why, but in a few spots it simply looks off, perhaps slightly smaller (Improved Clobbering Feint)...if this is merely my eyes, ten ignore me on this one, it doesn't impede understanding regardless.

OK, so 22 feats pretty much lets you know upfront that I am not going to list them all for you, but I will show off a few personal choices, and through them give you a feel for the flavor of what we have here.

Right off the bat, Die By The Sword is the type of feat I love to see utilized by a player in an epic storyline. Working in concert in Diehard (or ferocity), this feat allows the player the opportunity to convert incoming damage (other than melee) into nonlethal whilst they continue to act through their impending death, thereby extending their characters (possibly) final legendary acts on the battlefield. An excellent feat in the hands of proper roleplayers. Hurling Disarm reminds me of every great choreographed epic fight scene we've ever seen where we have a large group on one or two masters. The feat allows you, after successfully disarming an opponent, to use said taken weapon as a projectile for a ranged attack at another opponent within range, thereby using one opponent's weaponry against the next and so forth.

Pit Fighter gets two mentions here, as the feat taps on my personal love of gladiatorial combat in allowing a player to forgo sneak attack damage to attempt a dirty trick, but it also was the first real spot grammatically to catch my eye with a potential misstep. The feat opens with the description of A life blood sport has made you an unsporting combatant...I can't help but think that reads clumsy, perhaps A life OF blood sport.... Again, not a huge thing, but with only three actual pages of text, errors stand out.

I'll end with War-Torn, that feat for the most battle grizzled veteran, the one who has seen it all, and is unfazed and unwavering in the face of overwhelming odds.

This collection of feats, as I stated 1/4th of the freshman offering from Abandoned Arts, shows a great deal of potential and promise. There are some decent feats here, and for the price you can't go wrong. On the flip-side of the coin however, if you are a visual shopper, the layout is extremely basic, with no artwork to enhance the product. The layout is extremely basic, but that I think goes to the Abandoned Art crew is still getting their feet wet and learning the ropes. I would love to see a more professional looking layout and perhaps a piece of artwork or two in the second wave of releases.

Final thoughts...the cons come down to visually unappealing to look over as it is all text, and the one odd hiccup in flow of text. The pros, a fairly decent collection of feats. I am hoping this is not a flash in the pan concept however, and am eager to see where you go next.

Giving this a 4 star, as the feats are of good design, but there is room for improvement. Can't wait to see you guys grow, and what you'll bring to the table next!

Hey, folks. Abandoned Arts, here - a brand new player in the third-party game, producing the highest-quality PDF products.

I want to open a product discussion page for our first four products (new, $0.99 class options for the classic party-of-four: the fighter, cleric, rogue, and wizard), but I'd rather not flood the Product Discussion page with four too-similar threads, so I'm taking it one product at a time.

Class Acts: Fighters offers twenty-two new combat feats for just $0.99. My favorite feat? Splintering Sunder! Check it out, and let us know what you think of the product. E-mail Abandoned Arts at customerservice@abandonedarts.com.

Or, leave us a message on Facebook or Tumblr.


Review up, not a bad first offering, not bad at all. Design wise you show some serious potential, and I am very curious to see where you go from here.

Grr... a typo!?

HULK SMASH. I'll be fixing that up right away. Nothing grinds my gears like a typo in one of my products.

Thanks for the glowing review, KTFish7. I'm glad that you liked our product. Isn't Die By the Sword an awesome feat?


Die by the Sword struck me as that feat that must be going on at the end of those epic battle scenes we see in big production movies where the Hero's are getting slaughtered in combat, but they just keep fighting on, as one after another they finally succumb to a rush of attackers, even though they have survived a freaking arsenal of ranged weapons being unloaded on them...you know, that scene that defines a character's legacy for all time, the how hard did he make it for them to put him down scene...yeah...excellent.

And as far as the reviews, my pleasure, I can't wait to see what you guys do next, as all 4 of the PDF's in this series showed a great deal of talent and creativity. It will be interesting to see your take on the other classes.

WELL, since you brought it up...

Next up are the barbarian and the witch. And I'm supremely excited about the latter. That'll hit the webstore sometime early this month, likely next week-ish at the latest.

After that, I believe we're slated to release Class Acts products for the alchemist and the gunslinger (or the ranger and the druid; we'll see).


Am wondering, are there are any plans to step outside of the "official" classes? Perhaps do a Class Acts product supporting a 3PP class (as there have been quite a few well received ones around here, lol). Just wondering out loud.

Am looking forward the barbarian especially, gonna warn ya though, alchemists and I are a tough sell, lol.

We have no plans to support third-party content. However, we absolutely do have plans to break into the "original base class" arena, ourselves. Especially if our sales keep climbing the way they have been.

By the way, the typo besmirching this product has been rectified.

I would 2nd the idea of the 3rd party class acts. The mutual support helps all parties make money..and a fresh set of eyes can work wonders. Just my two cents..

Hello again, everyone.

I have decided (based on suggestions offered in another product discussion thread) to include a descriptive rundown of the material contained in each Class Acts product line.

Let's do this.

This product contains twenty-two new combat feats:

Battering Bludgeon - In your hands, a humble club becomes a formidable cudgel.
Battle-Hardened - You have seen the horrors of war, and they have hardened you.
Clobbering Feint - You can fool opponents into exposing themselves to a brutal return.
Die By the Sword - You refuse to succumb to a demise less noble than the one you deserve – death in battle, at the end of your enemy’s blade.
Executioner's Axe - You have the eye of an executioner.
Fighter's Focus - In battle, your focus is as sharp as your blade.
Furious Fighter - You fight with a barely-contained fury.

Lashing Strike - Your whip attacks leave your enemies aching.
Pit Fighter - A life of blood sport has made you an unsporting combatant.
Precise Sunder - Your familiarity with the structural composition of arms and armor allows you to sunder weapons with surgical precision.
Quick Quarterstaff - You can strike out with your quarterstaff from a defensive posture.
Skewering Spear - The momentum of your spear is enough to impale your opponents.
Splintering Sunder - You can sunder arms and armor with deadly force.

Thanks for your five-star review, Golden-Esque! I'm with you on fighters; I too think that the fighter class is fine as-is, and needs no "help." In play, that's certainly been my experience.
