11-05-07, 04:02 PM I'm playing in an all-commoner campaign this weekend, and I'm trying to come up with some good feat choices for my character. Feats are more important for a commoner than typical classes because these are going to be my guy's only abilities. Any advice will be apriciated. Thanks.

11-05-07, 06:31 PM If you have Tome of Battle you might be able to get Martial Study and pick up some manuevers. That could be pretty effective. (Assuming its allowed)

Or you could use Magic of Incarnum to get some soulmelds.

11-05-07, 06:37 PM Well, I think Skill Focus (Craft(Basket Weaving)) is the standard for commoners. :P

Are you trying to make an effective character (given the circumstances) or just one for flavor? What do you want to focus on? Is this a one-shot game? If you're just playing one session as level 1 PCs, you could do something like take Toughness twice. I wouldn't recommend it if you're playing past 2nd level though.

Techinically, you could take Wild Talent and get a psionic feat too.

Without more info, this is about all I can give you.

Nice Idea, but I think I'd run into some trouble getting xp.
