04-07-07, 01:44 PM I had this thought... I can see one way to break it already (Adamantine Hurricane), but I'm wondering if there's any other huge abuses lurking around, and how many it could be balanced? Or is it even really weak outside a couple specific uses?

Reach Out And Touch Someone
Prerequisities: One of the following: Large size or larger, Powerful Build, Jotunbrud, or reach greater than 5'; str 13, bab 6+.
Benefit: For the purpose of adjucating effects, you can define "adjacent" enemies as enemies within your zone of threat.
Normal: Adjacent enemies are only enemies who occupy at least one square touching at least one square you occupy.

04-07-07, 01:56 PM Personally I understand that any enemy 'adjacent' is any enemy in your reach.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel it as a realisitic rule (I know realism is not D&D compatible, but oh well)

About your questions, I ņthink that powerful build would not fulfill the prereq and have no idea of what jotunbrud is.
For the rest it seems ok...maybe make it str16 and take of the BAB req

04-08-07, 11:22 AM I'm pretty sure that it's defined as only ones that you border squares with.

Also: Nah, I think I'm going to keep the BAB req so it can't be taken at first level .. and as for the strength req, I think 13 is better than 16, thatway characters who're not entirely strength-focused can make use of it, but you do need some str.
