04-01-05, 06:55 PM I am playing an Incubus in a Drow centred campaign, using the Savage Species' Racial Classes option.
My first feat was the Force of Personality Feat from the Complete Adventurer, allowing me to use my CHA modifier for saves against mental spells and effects. My third feat will be the Supernatural Transformation feat for my Charm Monster spell-like ability.
But for now I am looking for a good 2nd feat to take once i reach the level.

Background:

We have started play in Ched Nassad at an undisclosed point in the past, all other players are from the same house. I have been summoned to support them with badly needed social skills (War, Clr, Wiz, Rog). Up to now we seem to move toward a rather disasterous confict with a more powerful house, but nobody is listening to this all-male group.
The players have a plan to try to escape should the plan go down the drain, and it seems the surface is their intended aim.
I have several ideas about potential feats, but would initiate a discussion here first.

04-01-05, 10:26 PM Dont drow have a resistance to charm. Maybe ability focus? Or if you plan to go in a prc after the 12 lvs, perhaps you can consider filling them out now. An incubus blackguard is not too shabby.

04-02-05, 03:06 AM How about taking some combat-oriented feat like Improved Initiative or the dreaded EWP(Spiked Chain)?

04-02-05, 04:53 AM Ability Focus, ability focus! More DC = GOOD!

04-02-05, 05:54 AM As I do not have the Charm Monster ability yet, the only currently feasible ability would be suggestion. Getting Ability Focus for it seems like a waste. :rolleyes:

04-02-05, 09:22 AM Pity you don't qualify for divine might, or snowflake wardance. Something to look into, perhaps, in the future. In the meantime ... IMproved Toughness might not be bad. You're going to be /heavily/ under HP for your level. And drow aren't the most friendly of traveling companions.

04-02-05, 08:36 PM Doesn't Improved Toughness require Toughness as a prerequisite ?

04-02-05, 08:47 PM Well, if you're supposed to be the party face, why not get a feat that gives you bonuses to charisma skills or something to that effect?

Weapon proficiencies are, of course, always good.

Inured to energy is fun...

Improved Flight is one of my favorite feats for any creature that warrants it. I've run more than one winged creature, and improved flight is alost always worth it. Along similar lines, hover and wingover make great additions to any winged character.

And there's always the metamagic clones for spell-likie abilities.
