07-14-07, 12:07 PM I know there have been a huge amount of Vow of Poverty Threads, and this is just another one, but i'm a bit stuck.

Would it be unbalanced in a VOP progression to drop two or three bonus Exalted Feats in order to deal damage in new ways. What i was thinking was giving them to deal damage as if their weapons were made of Silver, and at later levels Cold Iron.

Any opinions?

Bypassing DR as an epic weapon would seem a bit much, but bypassing as a weapon material is fine and perhaps needed (considering that the VoP prevents you from using those materials).

07-14-07, 06:17 PM There is no need to do that. There are feats that allow it. I just can't member where but I have seen them. Just as there is a feat that allows one to decide what damage type their UA does. (Slash, pierce and blunt)

You can always just allow them to burn a feat (exhaulted?) the ability.
