Mar 12, 2009 23:16:42 Ok so this is a feat my and a friend made up and my dm was ok with it. My friend and I are both Eladrin rangers. I am a two blade and she is an archer it allows me to be more of a tank but I have to protect her as well. It brings some fun and randomness to the game because when we are not in battle we still feel some things that happen. She likes to drink in the game my guy dose not so I still get tipsy. My dude is a bit of a man hore so she feels some things she should not and when she gets laid…..WELLL I just don’t like to talk about that one. It brings a fun element to the game. Now I would like to hear what you think if it needs tweaks or if it altogether suxs.

1 Empathetic link
Prerequisites two people must take this feat. Must be twins or a magic accident that happens at some point in the game.

When one of the players take damage or healing he only takes 75% and the other player with this feat takes 25% damage and healing round down or up must state when taking the feat.

I was thinking of making it one takes 80% and the other takes 30 or 35% but that would mess up the healing so it would be only damage.

2 Telepathic link
Prerequisites Empathetic link. both players must take.
The two players with this feat can speak telepathically only with one another.

This is good, you don't need to have the line about rounding down/up as the rules say somehwhere that we should always round down in dnd. You may want to write a bit more of the RP side of things into the rules; something like:

"Providing that they are on the same plane; the two linked characters are always aware of each others current emotional state over any distance. As a minor action one of the characters can make an insight check (DC 10 + 1/mile distance) to determine whether the other character wants help or not."

2 Telepathic link

I think with no range this is too powerful, i'd suggest either 20squares, or a scale of 10, 20, 30 across the tiers.
