03-02-07, 03:19 PM I was curious if there was a combat feat out there that allowed fighter types to use their surroundings to their advantage in combat( Perhaps this could be accomplished with a weapon proficiency in mundane objects or something). For example, a fighter using a busted piece of railing, a torch, a rope, a big rock, a busted beer bottle, pottery, etc., to defend themselves. Does a feat like this already exist? If not, let's make one up! Thank you all. Haappy Gaming!

The benifit would be no -4 on rolls with an impro weapon as outlined in the PHB in the equipment section. The reason I would divide it up is for game balance. I don't want a person who can use a chair leg to pummel some also be able to use their foes body as one with out some practice.

I also would not allow specific weapon based feats like weapon focus stack with it.

03-06-07, 04:55 PM 1.)Improvised Weapon Proficiency: no -4
2.)Improvised Weapon Focus: + 1 or +2
ETC.

1.) only covers common/ small objects
2.) For more unusual/unweildy objects (still recieving the higher bonus due to exp.)
