War Domain's Weapon Master ability and ACG's Barroom Brawler feat question


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

Alright, so I was looking at possible combat feats to use with a potential Cleric build I was playing around with, when I noticed an interesting combo:

Weapon Master (War Domain) wrote:
Weapon Master (Su): At 8th level, as a swift action, you gain the use of one combat feat for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive and you can change the feat chosen each time you use this ability. You must meet the prerequisites to use this feat.

Barroom Brawler (Combat)

You have learned how to mimic the combat tricks and forms of others.
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: Once per day as a move action, you can gain the benefit of a combat feat that you do not possess for 1 minute. You must otherwise meet the feat's requirements.
Special: If you have the martial flexibility class feature, this feat instead grants you one additional use per day of that ability.

So a level 8 Cleric can spend a swift action to gain Barroom Brawler for one round, then spend a move action to gain any combat feat for one minute.

The question is, what happens to such a spontaneous feat that has uses/day?

Since Barroom Brawler can only be used once per day, does that mean the above combo works once per day? Or once Weapon Master loses the Barroom Brawler feat, and at a later time the cleric regains it from Weapon Master again, can it be used again, or has the ability already been spent?

Based upon clarifications on things like Paragon Surge, and a Brawler gaining Stunning Fist, I would assume that the above combo works only once per day, but I don't have anything specific to back that up.

Still, I'm loving that combination idea, even if it only works once per day. For that one big fight each day, you gain your choice of 2 combat feats. Great for a Battle Cleric.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I would assume the same limit as the brawler's martial flexibility has:

If a combat feat has a daily use limitation (such as Stunning Fist), any uses of that combat feat while using this ability count toward that feat's daily limit.

Id rule the combo like this:
Spend a swift action: gain barroom brawler.
Spend a move action: gain feat x.
Round two: lose barrrom brawler. lose feat x in response.

The 8th level war domain power lasts 1 round per level, so Barroom Brawler should last at least 8 rounds.
