Talk:Diligent Martial Study (3.5e Feat)

Very High?

This feat by itself gives you absolutely nothing, and a fourth martial study isn't that powerful. I'd peg it at Low, or make it do something other than be a piece of some build that doesn't shine until 3 levels later. --Foxwarrior (talk) 01:55, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Martial Study itself can be placed no higher than H, since the vast majority of maneuvers are H. But since it tends not to be useful for full-on martial adepts and therefore usually is running at half IL, it's probably placed better at M. This feat is significantly less powerful than Martial Study itself, particularly because Martial Study is actually not a great feat to take multiple times -- feats are a far more scarce resource than class levels, so it takes rather extraordinary circumstances for one feat to be more expendable than one class level, let alone five feats. So yeah, this is solidly Low. --DanielDraco (talk) 02:48, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
