Feat Shenanigans


Advice

Sovereign Court

A friend is running a Rise of the runelords campaign and gave everyone an assigned role and I got Front Liner. I decided on running a Dwarf Fighter Sensate (From Occult Adventures) "My Beard Sense is tingling!"

We were rolling stats and since this was the first time I ever rolled stats, massive beginners luck ensued. My stat block is 17 17 17 15 14 13.

Given I am doing a two handed beatstick build and am going full fighter, I have a lot of freedom with my feats. I was wondering about odd ball feats that have a high entrance requirement since I might actually be able to pull them off.

For Example:
Redirect Attack: Dex 15, Int 15, Dodge
Once per turn, when an opponent only you threaten fails an attack against you, you can redirect the attack to target another foe.

I'm looking for interesting feat ideas that can work just due to this stat block that I will likely never see again.


Not a feat, but there has never been a better time to be a Monk or other MAD class. Id take the opportunity, if you can.


Monk/paladin! Use all the stats!

I was looking at an unchained monk as a possibility. I am still slated as the Front Liner so I need to do a full BAB class.

Paladin is out because my last beatstick character was one and I want something different.


Unchained Monk sounds like a winner.

If you play Sensate, get Artful Dodge and Heavy Armor. You can qualify for Redirect Attack with just INT (also TWF).

Silver Crusade

I'm partial to the Foehammer archetype for the Fighter. As levels get higher it gives you some control options (tripping people on a bullrush, making the ground around you difficult terrain, etc.). I'm also partial to the (admittedly sub-optimal) dwarf specific cleave feats (goblin cleaver, orc hewer, and giantkiller), for being able to eventually wade into combat and just cleave everyone around you. Course, that's more flavorful than effective, but it's still on the table.


But seriously, Monk/Paladin. Champion of Irori would be cool to multiclass into. Unchained Monk Flurry of Blows scales better with Champion of Irori. You lose out on ki powers and your Lay on Hands is behind, but your saves will end up beastly. You can shift it to a less MAD build with a Guided Amulet of Mighty Fists. If you dip 1 level into Oracle and pick up the right feats (Noble Scion), you can dump DEX entirely. Your will save will be insane, your other saves will be tough to beat, you'll be full BAB, or full BAB -1 if you dip into Oracle, and you won't need an ounce of STR or DEX past early levels. Well, except for Power Attack, but your "dump stat" will take care of that completely..


Maybe look for abilities the abilities that add INT to damage. There's a feat for archery that does, at least.
