I need help choosing a 12th level feat. Here’s what I am playing:
Level 4 duskblade/1 fighter/6 beast heart adapt (dungeonscape)
My main goal with this chara was the PrC. I needed the duskblade for the preq’s.
Race: Orog from FR Races LN
Attributes after adjustments and gear
STR-26 +8
DEX-14 +2 initiative +2
CON-12 +1
INT-16 +3
WIS-8 -1
CHA-8 -1
I am the up front fighter. I use a belt of growth to go to large size and flank with my Owlbear and Worg companions. I think when I get to lvl 12 I might trade in my Worg for a Gorillion. I use a large greater swordbow MIC (+1 wounding)
My AC : 22 /12 touch/20 flatfoot
Ref 6
Fort 11 5 pt fire and 5 pt cold resistance
Will 9

Here are my feats so far:
***house rule-we can trade in unused weapon and armor proficiency for ½ any combat feat, and extra unused martial weapon proficiency for any combat feat*****

Level 1- daylight adaptation (needed for underdark ork)
Flaw 1- insightful reflexes (INT used for Ref save)
Flaw 2- Practiced spellcaster (+4 CL for duskblade)
Dusk - simple weapons, martial weapons, light armor proficiencies
Dusk med armor/hv armor trade in –power attack
*Dusk 1 –arcane attunement
*Dusk 1 –armored mage light
*Dusk 2- combat casting
Level 3 Animal affinity (need for PrC)
*Dusk 3- arcane channeling (cast spell with sword)
*Dusk 4- armored mage medium
*BHA 1 –monstrous companion
*BHA 1 – Monster Empathy (like wild empathy)
*BHA 1 –Monster handler (use handle animal skill with magical monsters)
Fighter 1 –improved toughness (extra hp)
Ftr simple weapon/light armor trade in –cleave
Ftr medium/heavy armor trade in –weapon focus greatsword
Ftr shield/Dusk shield trade in – bonded ( when animal companion in melee I get +1 Attack/ +1 damage and precise shot to that opponent)
Ftr martial trade in – double team (when animal companion hits I get AoO)
Level 6 –Item familiar (Kryton armor MIC) (Unearthed arcana)
*BHA 2 – Monster Lore (knowledge skill feat)
*BHA 3 –Alternate animal companion (expanded list, like druid)
Level 9 - Improved Critical Greatsword
*BHA 4-monsterous flank ( +2ATT/+2 DAM when I flank with companion)
*BHA 5 – Second Monstrous companion

All the level that start with * are the class features. I included them so you all know what I have total.
The 12th level I get will be Beast Heart Adept 7. That will give me monstrous tactics. (this gives me the same as “double team” feat, however my DM said with this we can “reverse it”. So when I hit my animals get an AoO.

So what do you think would be a good 12th level feat? Someone (another thread) suggested Adaptable flanker but I don’t have the preq’s for that.
Most books are allowed (not eberron setting).
any ideas?
thanks in advance

Arcane Strike (Complete Warrior)

You expend a spell slot for +N bonus to attacks and +Nd4's damage for one round where N is the spell lost expended.

Never a bad idea if you ask me.

Thanks thats a good thought.
Anyone else? I was hoping for something to help with teamworking. Like adaptable flanker, I just wish it didnt have the 2 other feats for preq's.
Thanks again
