Lecen_of_Mitran 06-14-07, 11:01 PM	Hi, I need opinion about the following change on two epic feats: Dire Charge: Instead of BBA +21 as prerequisite, it would become BBA +16 and it would work just like the pounce ability. Special abilities like "Smite Evil" wouldn´t work with Dire Charge. Fighter bonus feat. Reason for changing it: With the Barbarian (see Complete Champion)class getting it for free at lvl ONE in place of +10ft made me believe that this feat shouldn´t be epic at all. and... Wield Oversized Weapon: Instead of BBA +21 as prerequisite, it would become BBA +14 . And Str 17+. Reason for changing it: Why taking off -2 penalty on attacks should be Epic? It doesn´t make sense. I´m no munchikin, and I don´t like Tome of Battle. My group is not after salad fruits (a character with two or more prestige classes) or more and more damage. So, Í´d like to see your opinion on this subject with no "munchikinsm" on it, please. :P

runestar 06-15-07, 12:44 AM	Well, there are a lot of monsters I know of which would appreciate dire charge no longer being an epic feat...:P

Lecen_of_Mitran 06-15-07, 09:31 AM	Well, anyone else has any opinion about these changes? I get to have all sure before putting this in the game for real.
Witch 06-15-07, 09:38 AM	Giving the Barbarian Pounce at level 1 is a horrid sign of power creep. It is inappopriate; the alternative class option should be banned, not used as justification for making powerful options available at lower levels.
