Feat: Scimitar Master

[tfkee]

Scimitar Master:
While wielding a scimitar, you gain a +4 bonus on opposed checks against disarm and sunder attempts. If you score a critical threat with a scimitar, you receive a +2 bonus on the confirmation attack roll.

Josh, or anyone else in the know, is the +4 bonus on disarm and sunder a defensive bonus only? Or is it offense and defense?

I believe it's defensive only, but I wanted to check.

That feat would be way overpowered if it weren't defensive only.

I completely agree, which is why I'm trying to nip it in the bud.

[Shisumo]

"Against" seems to make it pretty clear to me. Defensive only.

[Nameless]

Yes, that's the way I read it as well. Defensive only.

[Maleek the Mostly Mad]

This feat is being defensive only! Another conspiracy to squelch the might of the Qadirans!

What Source book is this from? I'm having a hard time locating it. . .

This was a season 0 faction feat. Faction feats have been replaced by traits now. So it is no longer available for Pathfinder Society play.

So if you wanted to use any of those feats in a non-PFS game at home or something, they would be listed in which Guide to Society Play, the 1.x guides?

It was in the season 0 guide, so yeah any version 1.x would have it.

As it was a free download I assume there's no problem in posting it here.
