06-08-07, 11:39 AM I'm playing a changling barbarian towards the frenzied bezerker class I chose the changling for the warshaper prestige class so I can recieve the fast healing ability and offset 2 points of damage for frenzy but is there a feat to boost the fast healing ability so I can also heal back damage instead of negate the nonlethal

06-08-07, 12:11 PM Fast healing is a powerfull ability.

There is an Epic feat that grants fast healing 3. It specifically does not stack with other forms of Fast Healing from 'magic items or other non-permanent effects'.

I would take this to mean it would stack with what you have.

Also, if you already have the feat and take it again, it raises your fast healing by +3.

--------------

But that is an EPIC feat.

Generlaly I find Epic feats can use a 1/3 value.

I.E. It is not unreasonable to create a feat like this;

Improved Fast Healing.

Pre req: Con 15+, Fast Healing as a racial or class based ability.

Benefit: Your Fast Healing is improved by +1. If it was originally +2/round, now it is +3 per round.

--------------

Note, this feat differs from the epic version in 3 ways:

1. It is +1 instead of +3
2. It has different pre-reqs
3. It can NOT be taken multiple times.

You could go for the Combat Form feats from PH2. They require Wisdom 13+ tho ;)

Combat Focus, Combat Stability and Combat Vigor is the ones i would choose. With this you get Fast Healing 4 for 13 rounds, starting when you hit someone in a battle.

Enjoy :D

06-11-07, 11:48 AM I saw the combat spec. feats but, its wasting to many feats to get seeing as how you need 4 to get to the Frenzied Bezerker class as is and since I'm not a human or taking a class of fighter to get a couple of extra bonus feats, I can't afford to waste more than I have to.
as it stands now, here's what I've planned out....
keep in mind, its not an optimizede character because I'm not trying to make it into one (not that I can't but after a certain point, it loses it fun playing because nothing short of DM cheating can touch you) anyway......
Stats are point bought (I rolled ****** scores)
STR 16
DEX 14
CON 14
INT 10
WIS 14
CHA 10
race is changling (for shapechanger subtype)
Barbarian to 4th level (using the whirling frenzy variant to get the dode bonus to AC(and I don't like the whole losing hit points at the end of rage deal) taking Intimidating Rage and Power Attack at 1st and 3rd and focusing skill points on Concentration and Intimadate) (Stat points are all going to CON)
Warshaper to 8th level (Cleave at 6th level, for morphic immunities, extended reach, +4 STR/CON, fast healing,)
barbarian at 9th (destructive rage)
From this point I can start taking the Frenzied Bezerker and only have 3 feats left before 20th level, thinking extended rage and extra rage as 2 of them but haven't thought out for the last one or for possible replacements yet

06-11-07, 03:36 PM The Fiendish Codex II has a Rapid Regeneration feat that gives +1 to your regeneration... Regeneration is an INCREDIBLY powerful ability; fast healing is also a powerful ability, but rather less so... but if it is ok for a feat to give +1 to regeneration, I don't see a problem with +1 to fast healing.
