| This is old, but no less horribly unbalanced because of it. |

| I know there's no such thing as overpowered in Very High power, but it seems like there was no real attempt to balance this against anything. Any halfway decent damage-dealing build becomes insanely strong with this feat, to the point that attack rolls are essentially meaningless. Take, for example, a Monk 1/Rogue X that uses TWF, Snap Kick, and flurry of blows. Normally, never gonna hit a thing. This way, he'll hit everything all the time, and the sneak attack damage will more than make up for it. Put another way, you can combine a Very Low class and a (low end of) High class and, with this feat, end up with a Very Very Very High character.
Also, if you combine it with a two-handed weapon and Power Attack, you can get your BAB to damage at no penalty. |
- I know its probably a little late for any changes to actually be made, but in case someone looks in here, it might make for a nice feat if there were a way to place a limit on it which was based on BAB instead, such as +1/-1 for every +4 to BAB, and to also disallow the use of power attack in conjunction with the feat. To address another issue that DanielDraco mentions, if you actually need help on hitting, chances are your cumulative -5 penalty attacks from full attacks aren't going to hit; it might be worth restricting it to a Standard Action in addition. Any number of things could be done, really, and it wouldn't be too bad. Maninorange (talk) 00:16, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
