03-09-04, 07:48 PM This is just an all-purpose thread, and it'd be nice to see both personal examples and short-hand ideas for RPing feats.

For instance, it might be kind of easy to give suggestions for FRCS feats such as Cosmopolitan, etc. but what about for feats like Whirlwind Attack (taking into account the feats needed to get there and how to transcend and include those aspects of RP) or like Metamagic Feats (how would one RP a "Maximizing Mage" or an "Empowering Mage"?)

Anything goes, tell me about characters past and current who had personality to match their feats, or give ideas, or whatever.

Hmm, i dont play fighter type characters all too often... i mainly stick with wizards and the like. So, i cant really help you with the whirlwind attack feat.

As for Maximize/Empower;

When you cast a spell like fireball the amount of damage is variable, simulating the randomness of the magic. To roleplay maximize spell perhaps your character has found a certain way to "spin the weave" to gain maximum results ("Hmm... if i do this and this and.... BINGO!").

Empower spell would be easily rp'ed by someone who puts alot of effort behind something, just throw all your energy into a spell and hope for the best.

03-11-04, 11:32 AM For the Whirlwind and related feats, you can roleplay your character as being really quick. For instance, in a tavern, he could take a chair beside a table and place it beside another table really quickly. Or he could have learned some "trance" in a battle, allowing him to move quickly (spring attack) and then to attack everyone around (whirlwind attack).

:fight!:
