Toxaur 02-22-08, 10:44 PM	Any feat suggestions? I need a 1st level feat. The rest are as planned: Human Bonus: Alertness Monk Bonus 1: Improved Grapple 1st: Monk Bonus 2: Combat Reflexes 3rd: Endurance 6th: Natural Spell 9th: 12th: 15th: 18th:
dman11235 02-22-08, 11:21 PM	Dude, you're set. Might want to try VoP. Might. I seriously can't think of anything to add, just whatever you want to do. So, what do you want to do? There's various defensive ones, offensive ones, and ones to aid spell casting. Have fun. You don't even need feats.
StruckingFuggle 02-22-08, 11:23 PM	Planning on combat? Power Attack. Maybe leap attack. (gestalt Druid // Dungeon Crasher...)
Toxaur 02-22-08, 11:23 PM	VoP? What's that? Might?
dman11235 02-22-08, 11:32 PM	It's Vow of Poverty. Druids are the one class that benefit from the feat. Not even monks get a good deal from it. What level are you starting at? And where are you going level wise?
Toxaur 02-22-08, 11:34 PM	level 2 - epic I assume.
dman11235 02-22-08, 11:37 PM	Oh. Then definately go VoP eventually. Its benefits are exagerated a lot more at epic (high enhancement bonus fast and armor bonus fast). The thread for the Epic Vow of Poverty is in the epic forum. That's the most official epic progression. And once you hit epic, take levels in Fist of the Forest (CChamp). So that's Power Attack as a feat for you. And I think one more as a prereq. EDIT: Here (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=554563&) is the Epic Vow of Poverty feat.
Toxaur 02-22-08, 11:54 PM	Thanks!
dman11235 02-23-08, 11:01 AM	No problem. BTW, remember that Barkskin will stack with the natural armor from the feat, since BS is an enhancement bonus, and the feat is an actual increase.
Toxaur 02-24-08, 04:37 PM	do "bonus" and "enhancement bonus" stack? Is "bonus" the same as "unnamed bonus"?
StruckingFuggle 02-24-08, 04:54 PM	Basic rule, dis-similar type bonuses to the same thing stack, same-type bonues overlap. So... do "bonus" and "enhancement bonus" stack? Yes, they're two different types of bonuses, so they stack together. Is "bonus" the same as "unnamed bonus"? Yes. There is no example (far as I can think of) of an granting an explicit 'unnamed' bonus, either, because then it would be a named bonus. :p
Toxaur 02-24-08, 05:25 PM	thanks! Actually, I have seen "grants an unnamed bonus" in one of the newest 3.5 books somewhere. I of course don't remember the exact book, page, or paragraph though. lol
tyrecian 02-25-08, 07:17 AM	since you have full spell progression, i would think about taking some metamagic, perhaps Empower
Emperor7 02-27-08, 02:29 PM	Augment Summoning works great with your nature's allies. +4 STR, +4 CON.
dman11235 02-27-08, 03:38 PM	And then the other summoning feats as well if you want. Shadowy Conjuration from CMage. Ability Enhancer (Dragon Mag?) can help you with buffs.
Toxaur 02-27-08, 03:53 PM	Ability enhancer sounds great, but I looked in Dragon Magic, and can't find it.
dman11235 02-27-08, 04:25 PM	Here (http://realmshelps.dandello.net/cgi-bin/feats.pl?Ability_Enhancer,all) is the feat. It's not THAT good, but it can help a little. Especially with the Bite of the WereX spells. EDIT: I meant Dragon Magazine. Dragon Magic is DMagic for me. Or Dragon Magic. I have to look up the accepted abbreviation for that one.
Toxaur 02-27-08, 08:57 PM	interesting. thanks!
Vaelan 02-27-08, 11:38 PM	I think the interactions between bonuses and enhancement bonuses could be made clearer. It has not been presented well here, though the conclusions are accurate. Bonuses follow a pattern. [Type] bonus to [stat]. If the type and the stat are the same, they don't stack unless explicitly stated (dodge bonuses to AC, unnamed bonuses to anything). Natural armor gives you a Natural Armor (type) bonus to AC (stat). An Enhancement (type) bonus to Natural Armor (stat) isn't a bonus to AC, so there is no possibility of it overlapping with natural armor. They stack. This is mentioned on page 136 of the PHB.
