03-07-07, 01:27 PM I'm playing a druid who will be going in to the Forest Master prestige class a few levels from now, and I'll probably be running in to some problems with our party Fireblaster (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=703602), since the Forest Master eventually turns in to a plant and gains fire vulnerability. Is there any feat that will allow be to apply my wisdom bonus to reflex saves to avoid getting burninated? Any other suggestions (other than ring of evasion, which I plan to grab if this feat exists)? He'll mostly be tossing around searing spells, so fire resistance won't help much.

03-07-07, 03:30 PM There's a spell (Sandstorm, I believe) that makes you fire subtype. That won't make you immune to searing, but it will help. Protection from Energy might help (it does in our campaigns), since it ablatively absorbs the damage, rather than just negating it. If you do become fire subtype, as a plant you can benefit from Evergreen, in Frostfell, to gain immunity to cold. Teamwork benefits are also your friend, with Friendly Fire Evasion being appropriate for the situation.

You might be able to convince your GM to allow you a variant of the feat (whose name escapes me) that allows con mod to will saves, and negates nat 1 autofailure on fort saves. The natural variants of the feat, in cyclic array, would be [Wis to Reflex instead of Dex, No autofail on Will] and [Dex to Fort saves instead of Con, no Autofail Reflex]. The one feat has Endurance as a pre-req, so it's up to you to decide the appropriate pre-reqs for these. You could call them [Intuitive Reflexes] and [Nimble Physique], for lack of better names.

03-07-07, 05:44 PM The feat you are refering to is Steadfast Determination PHB 2. I think your idea to make other feats like it is a good plan. I might like to bring up such an idea with my GM, I would want the Wis to Reflex saves as well...my character is going into Deepwarden and so I won't need Dex anymore...and as of right now I have a +20 in both Fort and Will. So something else to help my saves would be most helpful.
