[Nicos]

Afther some feedback I review the original feats and added a coupleof more feats.

Some feats might be a little more powerful than normal feats, that is intended, this is why they are fighter only feats.

These are good things, and the Fighter needs more good things. When I hear people talk about their characters, it's always wizards, clerics, barbarians, rangers. . . but no Fighters. Fighters need to be redesigned as the armed, armoured lords of the battle field they should be.

Glad you like it. I would apreciate some feedback about the feats.

Armored Warrior: isn't there a feat that does this with shields in Ultimate Combat? If so, does it stack? Not too keen on this particular bonus, as people tend to forget it.

Armored Specialist: I made almost same feat with shields. It makes more sense, IMO.

Resilience: I sincerely applaud you for this one! Great idea! The only thing I would do is integrate in the fighter class itself. As in: you gain +1 bonus vs. fear on first (or second, whatever) level, and it increases by +1 every two levels thereafter. Every time the bonus increases you can choose one extra condition to which it applies.

Crossbow Sniper: This one is a bit dodgy for me, feels more rogue-ish. And it's way unbalanced. Double damage+Vital strike damage+stagger?

Blocking Shield - nice.

Evasive Shield - ok, but what are burst effects? All that have reflex half on their saving throws, or only spells with burst area (fireball is a spread, for instance).

Disruptive Expertise - I hate choosing one enemy. And the spellcaster should be aware of this.

Improved Reach - nice. I think this should be an automatic feature of the Lunge feat when you gain BAB+11, but I'm switching to Kirthfinder, and my judgement is clouded on that matter (only on this feat, the others I commented from PF perspective).

Improved C.Expertise - not really seeing it. It's not unbalanced, and saves do need boosting, but it should be made of something else, not tied to C.Expertise.

Maneuver Focus - I'd make it removing the AoO for all maneuvers plus that +1. My judgement may be clouded here also, since I want maneuvers to be easier to perform.

Mount - i hate mounts, cohorts, animal companions and familiars with a passion. That said I see nothing wrong with this feat.

Unbalancing block - why only humanoid opponents? You should just give bonuses on CMD for extra legs, dwarf stability and stuff.

Tackling Bull Rush - not most elegantly made feat. How do armor spikes figure in the trip? No ideas for this one right now.

Feats are nice, the only thing is, I think some of them are ok for other classes, not only fighters.

I thought about 1 DR/-, but I do not know how well recived woul that be.

Shiel are the obvious choise, but shiel already have shield ray so i went with armor to give more options.

Thanks. I think bravery is a very lame class feature, I would not have problem with resilence beng a stanard class feature.

I like that fighter represent the most iverse style of combat. Besides crossbow are underpowered and the crossboman archetype is terrible

Thanks.

I have to think a better wording then. It is not intended to work with all effects that target reflex (for example create pit) but with things like fireball and cone of cold.

Yes spellcaster should be aware. I do not know if the ability to dny multiple spellcaster would be to OP.

The idea is to give support for options that are now underpowered. Combat expertise is one of the lamest feats out there.

I wnat maneuver to be easy to perfor too,but I do not know if your sugerence would be too much.

The idea is to give support for mounted combat. There are alreay two archetypes for mounte fighters but those are almost useeles without multiclassin 4 levels in cavalier (for horse master).

Fighters should be capable of master any combat style withut multiclassing.

necromental wrote:

I know, but there are certain monsters (like oozes) that I feel should not be affected by this.

DR 1/- is a worthy bonus. If you think it's to powerful, reverse these two feats for prerequisites.

While I do agree that fighters should be able to afflict people with conditions, there should be a universal mechanic for that. You went with a style feat which really suites the rogue (it functions on surprise rounds when hidden). For fighter being good with a crossbow, give them to apply their Dex modifier to damage with this feat(put w.specialization (crossbow) as a prerequisite).

Pits don't have Reflex half for save, they have reflex negates. Every reflex half effect is ok for this feat (blast spells, breath weapons, avalanches..).

It has it's purpose. Casters, STAY THE F+!# AWAY!

The two best fixes I saw for combat expertise, one was streamlining fighting defensively, and CE becomes "Improved Fighting Defensively", and isn't a prerequisite for anything not related to fighting defensively (combat maneuvers or whirlwind attack), and another one that remakes into something like your Maneuver Focus. And you boost the saves with a version of Lightning Reflexes and Iron Will that grant good save when you take them.

On the whole, I think you should look at Kirthfinder, at least the feat chapter, or fighter talents. If you think they are overpowered, you can ignore the scaling bonuses. Or just steal ideas for feats, rework them.
