Is it right i home brew feats for NPC's
I've homebrew feets for my players:
eg:
Speedy dwarf:
Req: lvl 10, dwarf, speed= 20ft, dex 13
Increase speed by 10 ft, you retain dwarven movment.
(this is for a game where everyone except the dwarf has speed 30 and light armour, and it was getting annoying)
anbd also a double strike feat that i've mentioned elsewhere.
But i'm also looking at feats for my enemy npc's.
Sedan Bearer
When carrying a sedan chair (or similar), you may move at normal speed.
Note: this doesnot allow monks or barbarians to move at there increase speed, as they are still carrying a heavy load.
They just don't take the heavy load penalty to speed.
Is it fair, to give them advantages like that?Last edited by oxinabox; 2009-07-15 at 10:27 PM.
There is nothing on earth that we share; it is either Valjean or Javert!
"A wizard can in fact be thought of the custodian to a familiar, a terrifying beast that charges its foes, slashing them to shreds while delivering their master's touch spells and bestowing upon their masters incredible bonuses to their hp or skill checks. A wizard is nearly powerless without one."
Need to find a God? or Spell or Feat?

Re: Is it right i home brew feats for NPC's
So long as the PC's that qualify for the homebrews have the option of picking them up, sure. Or you could decide certain things are NPC only.
Perception is reality.

Re: Is it right i home brew feats for NPC's
You don't even have to give them feats. You're welcome to advance things any way you want, or even spin things from whole cloth.
You want a spell-casting enemy, but don't want to throw a squishy d4-er out at them. Make something that counts as humans for all spells & effects, has big hit dice and saves but has "Casts as an X level Sorcerer" as an ability.
Want a dwarf to have fly 100ft(Perfect) and an improved version of flyby attack that lets him take any full-round action while moving?
He has it. Though it's probably good to have some kind of explanation for that one, otherwise it'll just seem silly.
EDIT: Point is, it's your job to provide interesting & entertaining content for your group, no matter what that is. The things already in books are just suggestions and guidelines to help you save time.
There are absolutely no limitations, or restrictions on what you can do other than what the group wouldn't find fun.Last edited by Mr.Moron; 2009-07-15 at 10:38 PM.

and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the
little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”

Re: Is it right i home brew feats for NPC's
I'm not sure what the reason is... If you've got two people carrying it, both Str 18, their combined medium load is 400lb.

I don't see why not. It's not that broken a feat.

Re: Is it right i home brew feats for NPC's
PC's should follow the rules and stay within a general power level the GM sets.
GM's should make a fun and interesting game. The rules for NPC's are good guidelines to start with, because they help balance things. But if you want Sedan Chair bearers, who will stop you? The internet? Not if you don't tell us about it.

Re: Is it right i home brew feats for NPC's
it's mostly cos i can't be bothered selecting a feat.
IT's is for sevents.
Sauhuaugin, elite warrior castes belonging to the pristhood,
Is a large 4 person Sedan chair thingy.
HEres a clarified updated version:
Sedan Bearer
When carrying a sedan chair (or similar) one handed, you may move at normal speed, and may attack with your free hand. your free hand is considered your main hand for attack and damage purpose.
Note: this doesnot allow monks or barbarians to move at there increase speed, as they are still carrying a heavy load.
They just don't take the heavy load penalty to speed.There is nothing on earth that we share; it is either Valjean or Javert!

Re: Is it right i home brew feats for NPC's
How large? If the characters are strong enough (it makes sense they would all be Str 17 or 18), and there are four of them, it could still be justified as a medium load.
One other note - I would deny them the ability to make a five-foot step as a free action, since their movements have to be coordinated with the other bearers.
For extra fun, let the PCs attempt to disarm or sunder their carrying pole.Last edited by Random832; 2009-07-15 at 11:08 PM.

Re: Is it right i home brew feats for NPC's
Not all the character with this feat will be strong enough.
Some will be monks.
SOme will be barbairians.
Um
I'll make it 4x4, with the pristes sittingf in the middle. (2.5 feet eather size)
I agree, they can only move togetherThere is nothing on earth that we share; it is either Valjean or Javert!
