Warrior Priest

Warrior Priest
Your religion is both a shield and a weapon in battle.

Prerequisites: Ability to cast divine spells, domain or mystery class feature.

Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on initiative checks and a +2 bonus on concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability when casting defensively or while grappled.

Ok this 2 half feats put together Improved initiative and Combat Casting put together...K Should it not be +2 to initiative?

[Jiggy]

How is this a rules question? Is the question part simply "Shouldn't this feat be better?" Or is there something you don't understand?

[leo1925]

Yes it isn't a rules question, although i agree that the feat should be better.

[Michael Sayre]

Since the bonuses are untyped wouldn't they stack with both Combat Casting and Improved Initiative, though? If that's the case it might explain why they kept the feat bonuses so low.

If they are meant to stack than I think it would be a wasted feat. You already dropped two feats, wasting another just to slightly upgrade them (even at the same time) seems kind of "meh". I'm sure there are better ways to improve initiative and skill checks

Still, a level 1 human Cleric or Oracle with a +7 to initiative from feats and traits and a +6 or better to concentration checks from feats is fairly reasonable.

Best use of a feat? Not necessarily, but I could see them being hesitant to create too much stackable overlap.
