01-28-08, 10:54 PM There's no WotC feat by that name. Might it be 3rd party, or do you have the name wrong? What are you thinking it does?

01-28-08, 10:55 PM I don't know, but the Feat Index (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/feats) does (at least, if it's an official feat published by the WotC).

However, according to that, there is no feat named "Blitzkrieg". The only feat with any form of 'blitz' in its name is Rapid Blitz from the PHBII.

Probably from the modern connotation of blitz as used in football.

In American football or Canadian football, a blitz is a team defensive maneuver in which one or more linebackers or defensive backs, who normally remain on the defensive team's side of the line of scrimmage during a play, are instead sent across the line to the offensive side to try to tackle the quarterback or disrupt his pass attempt. The name of the play is taken from Blitzkrieg, the German strategy of "Lightning War" during World War II.

That describes the Shock Trooper feat to a T.

Actually, they are pretty close. "Blitz" is lightning, not far from "shock." "Krieg" is war, also related to "trooper."

+1

Shock Trooper is pretty close to lightning warrior. Perhaps a german friend?

01-30-08, 11:21 AM Actually the term Blitzkrieg was prominantly used in the early days of WW2. It was the term the Nazi's used for their quick attack battle plan.
Literatey translated is "lightning war"

Just an FYI. I know it doesn't apply to the OP's question, but I have so much random knowledge its nice to use it once in a while. :) :)

01-30-08, 02:05 PM You know that the term has been covered here earlier in the thread, right?

For the record, I did know what it translates to, I just didn't see the connection.
