02-15-07, 11:03 AM will this feat work with the battlefist, wanted to get input thinking about taking this feat next level for my warforge juggernaut :)

02-15-07, 11:06 AM watch your grammar please. And a little bit of description about what the feat does, or a book to find it in might help.

To put it simply though, most effects do stack with a battlefist. All it really does is add size and weight to your fist equivelent to one size larger. And attach to your hand so that it can't be just taken off by anyone/disarmed.

02-16-07, 07:30 AM its in the players guide " As a free action, you can channel some of your life force into a slam attack. You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll. When you use this feat, you deal damange to yourself (any amount equal to or less than your base attack bonus). If the attack hits, you deal 1d4 points of electricity damageto the target per point of damage to yourself. For example , if you dealt 3 points of damage to yourself, a successful attack would deal an extra 3d4 points of electricity damage."

02-16-07, 11:54 AM Wow. That could be incredibly broken... but yea I'd say it stacks. Now You've just made my warforged charger that much more of a damage machine.

02-19-07, 05:38 PM yeah i was going to take the feat next level and then on my 9th level take improved toughness , That makes for a nasty amount of damage you can dish out but for the campaign we are in i will need it .

02-19-07, 10:12 PM There is no upper limit on the damage you can inflict on yourself/your enemy. It would work. In one game a warforged did 1d8+(str mod)+100d4dmg with this feat to drop the BBEG, the DM made him roll 25d4 4 times(@325 dmg) it was awesome..

02-22-07, 08:54 AM impossible, unless you have +100 BAB since the limit to the amount of damage to yourself is your BAB...

exactly (any amount equal to or less than your base attack bonus) Dragoloth seems to have not taken that into consideration, that or he's a level 100 fighter ;)

02-22-07, 07:24 PM Wasn't my character and I wasn't the DM. Sorry I never bothered to look up the feat. In that campaign I played a Mithryl body archer.

Which is impossible since in Epic levels you never increase BAB.

Thus, assuming you had full BAB in normal levels, at 20+ level, you could add a maximum +20d4 damage by taking 20 pts of damage.
