    Default [3.5] Epic Feats [P.E.A.C.H and suggest more!]

    Hey all!

    I'm working on my epic rules (still) and I need more epic feats, so if you've any ideas for epic-level feats then please post them.

    I've thrown out epic spellcasting as it is, so no Epic Spellcasting feats. I'm also only using some of the listed epic feats, a lot I've tossed out.


    So, what can you guys think of? ^^


    (Spell levels progress without the need for a feat, at the same speed as they do normally. Yes, full casters get 10th level spells at level 19.)

    (I'm not including any psionic feats because I don’t use psionics and don’t know them well enough.)

    I'll put my list up soon, I've nearly finished compiling a list.


    Edit: Ok! My list is up! Everyone P.E.A.C.H!
    Edit: The previous upload expired, so there's a new one now.

    Current revision: Word .doc

    Epic Tripping:

    Prereq: Int 13, Combat Reflexes, Improved Trip.

    Every time you make a trip attack, it deals the same damage as a normal attack. You may make all of your full attack attempts a trip attempt. You still gain AoOs for tripping an opponent as normal. Any AoO on an opponent attempting to stand up automatically trips them if it hits.

    I think it needs to be worded a bit better, and it may make tripping overpowered, but it seems like a cool feat. Then again, making every attack a touch attack may be a bit much, but it is an epic feat.

    Is this allowing ToB? If so...

    Epic Maneuver Recovery - At the start of your turn once per round, choose an expended maneuver and it's automatically recovered. Take this multiple times to recover more than one per round.

    Epic Boost - You may use two boosts in one swift action three times per day. You may take this multiple times to use it 3 more times per day. (Swordsage ability adds to number of times per day.)

    Epic Stance - You may gain the benefits of two stances at one time. This stacks with the warblade's Stance Mastery ability. You may take this multiple times. Each time adds an additional stance that you may use at one time. (Should probably restrict this to level 25+ and/or have some other epic feat restrictions.)

    Intensify Maneuvers 1-5 - Double all beneficial numerical effects of maneuvers and stances of first, second, third, fourth, and fifth levels. If it deals damage, double the damage dealt. If it grants resistance, adds speed, heals HP, grants a penalty, or provides a bonus, double the effect. Only numbers beneficial to you are doubled; those that penalizes you are left as they are. You may take this multiple times; each time adds 100% of the original value to the numerical bonuses.

    Intensify Maneuvers 6-9 - As Intensify Maneuvers 1-5, but applicable to all maneuvers of sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels. Requires Intensify Maneuvers 1-5 as a prerequisite.

    Searing Sands - While in a Desert Wind stance, you may ignore the fire resistance and fire immunity of enemies.

    Guardian of Steel - While in a Devoted Spirit stance, you may double the size of your Steely Resolve delayed damage pool. In addition, whenever an ally within 30 ft of you take damage, you make take the damage instead into your delayed damage pool as long as you have room (or take as much damage as you have room for). Any negative effects of the attack besides damage still apply to the ally struck.

    Impassive Mind - While in a Diamond Mind stance, you can always choose to take 20 on Concentration checks.

    Iron Guard - While in an Iron Heart stance, you are never considered flat-footed and may use immediate actions even before your first turn.

    Counter Strike - While in a Setting Sun stance, whenever you successfully use a Setting Sun counter against an enemy, you may immediately initiate a standard action Setting Sun strike against that enemy if they are within range of the strike,

    Ephemeral Body - While in a Shadow Hand stance, you may become incorporeal or not as a free action.

    Mountain Heights - While in a Stone Dragon stance, you no longer need to touch the earth to use Stone Dragon maneuvers.

    Leaping Tiger - While in a Tiger Strike stance, on any turn in which you make a successful Jump check, all your attacks that turn automatically threaten critical hits.

    Raven's Flight - While in a White Raven stance, every ally with a lower initiative count than you automatically have their initiative set to 1 below your own.

    Rejuvanating Soul seems kind of weak... I'm not sure how much your charisma bonus would be, but even if you max it, fast healing (~15) isn't that great around epic levels.

    Keep them coming, they're much appreciated!

    Yeah, some of the disciplines I had difficulty thinking up for (especially Devoted Spirit and Setting Sun). Maybe some kind of "take hits from your allies into your Steely Resolve" type of deal?

    Those ToB feats look great.
    But why would you ever get any other Intensify Maneuver besides 7-9?

    Thanks!
    I'm thinking that the later ones would require the previous ones as prereqs, but I'm not sure if that's gimping them a lot.

    Well, I'm not a CharOP wizard or anything, but Automatic Quicken 7-9 spell seems worth it even though it requires you to take the other automatic quicken spells. (Then again, automatically quickening spells level 1-3 isn't half bad, honestly, and automatically quickening 4-6 and 7-9 is just broken, and I'm sure there are ways to get the same effect by level 17 by just having the right combination of feats that makes Quicken Spell be a +0 spell). So requiring the previous ones as Prereqs is fine, though I'd consider making it 1-5 and 6-9 instead of 1-3 4-6 and 7-9.

    Okay, I've edited Intensify Maneuvers to only 2 levels and changed the Devoted Spirit feat. I don't play crusaders much though, so it's hard to judge whether it's too powerful or too weak. Opinions?

    I'm not sure, although it looks pretty good. Another good change might be Iron Guard, since Iron Heart's warblade-only and warblades already have Improved Uncanny Dodge.

    Actually, Iron Guard provides a Foresight-esque effect. Uncanny Dodge only lets you retain Dex to AC while flat-footed, but it doesn't eliminate the condition. So Iron Guard just lets you use immediate actions before your first turn.

    I agree that some of these are definitely weaker than others, though, so the prerequisites should make up for that.

    Ugh, I did not realise how many feats I already had, going through them ad weeding out the bad ones (there are a lot of bad ones - I wrote them when I was still pretty new the 3.5 ) is taking ages. Still, I'll post a list of them as soon as it's done! ^^

    Thanks to everyone who posted so far!

    Ephemeral Body - While in a Shadow Hand stance, you may become incorporeal or not as a free action.

    Mountain Heights - While in a Stone Dragon stance, you no longer need to touch the earth to use Stone Dragon maneuvers.

    Leaping Tiger - While in a Tiger Strike stance, on any turn in which you make a successful Jump check, all your attacks that turn automatically threaten critical hits.

    Raven's Flight - While in a White Raven stance, every ally with a lower initiative count than you automatically have their initiative set to 1 below your own.
    I'll have to look these over carefully, but they look really good!

    Yeah, I threw the Epic Quicken feats out - no matter how many feats you spend, getting 9th level spells quickened for free is not right.

    Something like that, yeah. Wizards get an equivalent to extra swift actions in Multispell, but that limits you to only Quickened spells. A feat adding extra swift actions would be helpful to everyone else, if not nearly as much.
    Also, adding extra Standard actions as well, but that's something that would need an absurdly high prereq in Dex, level, or both.

    On an unrelated note, changes to Deflect Arrows so that a character with Infinite Deflection and Exceptional Deflection so that a character with those feats isn't absolutely immune to ranged attacks would not be amiss, but that's really outside the scope of this thread.

So requiring the previous ones as Prereqs is fine, though I'd consider making it 1-5 and 6-9 instead of 1-3 4-6 and 7-9.
    That got nerfed to 0 and 1st w/ the first feat and then an additional spell level for every feat after that, so 9 feats to auto-quicken up to 9th.

    That Epic Tripping feat would mesh strangely with the Knock-down feat... either it would make it pointless, or the combination would mean that for every trip attack that hits, you do another trip attack (can you trip someone who's already been tripped?).

    Some more epic feat ideas:

    Epic Disarm: You may make a disarm attempt as a free action against any opponent who fails to hit you in melee combat up to a number of times equal to your Dex modifier. Requirements: Improved Disarm, Dex 17+

    Epic Dodge: You gain a dodge bonus to AC equal to 1/3 BAB (round down) while not flatfooted, encumbered or wearing heavy armour. Requirements: Dodge (or any feat that counts as Dodge towards feat requirements), Dex 17+.

    Epic Grapple: Count as if one size larger for all grappling checks and damage while grappling. Requirements: Improved Grapple, Earth's Embrace

    Quick Thinking: You may add your Intelligence modifier to your Initiative bonus, and are never flatfooted against an opponent with less than half your Intelligence. Requirements: Improved Initiative, Combat Expertise

    Knock down requires you to hit with a regular attack, and then requires you to make the touch attack to trip and make the check. Epic Trip allows you to make all your attacks (on a standing opponent) as touch attacks that trip and deal normal damage. So there's more benefit in epic tripping. Also, I don't see the "auto trip anybody standing up" thing being overpowered; you still have to hit with the (touch) attack, and you are more than likely able to near automatically make tripping checks if you specced for it.

    To clarify a bit:

    Knock Down = Make a standard attack for damage, then a touch attack, then a trip check.

    Epic Tripping = Make a Touch attack for damage, then make your trip check (not needed if you hit an opponent attempting to stand.)

    So, you're of the opinion that it would simply make Knock-Back pointless. OK.

    Personally, I reckon the feat's far too good even as an epic feat. Making melee attacks touch attacks by itself would be a borderline-overpowered epic feat; all of the rest is just getting silly.

    You only get one touch attack in your full attack if you want to full attack the same opponent (well, however many it takes to actually trip the enemy.)

    Besides, melee characters need something. Remember, even basic spells are > melee classes. Just because this is a near OHKO for a very specific method doesn't mean it's overpowered.

    But...but...there's no existing balanced epic level framework to balance them against...I'd have to do it completely from the start...damn it all!

    Prerequisites: Power Attack, BAB +20.
    Benefit: Whenever you deal at least 50 damage to an enemy with a single attack, they take a -1 penalty on all attack rolls and to AC for the duration of the encounter. The penalty is cumulative.

    Observer-Deceiving Attack
    Your foes are blind to your vengeance, even as it comes upon them.
    Prerequisite: Sneak Attack +10d6.
    Benefit: As a full-round action, you may make a single melee or ranged attack. If you do, your enemy automatically loses their Dexterity bonus to AC against that attack.

    Tiger Warrior Training
    You lead a glorious army into battle.
    Prerequisites: Leadership, BAB +20.
    Benefit: All of your cohorts and followers gain a BAB equal to their character level, instead of what they would normally have. In addition, they gain one bonus feat, drawn from the list of Fighter bonus feats, for every two levels they have, rounded up.

    Elusive Dream Defense
    Like a dream slipping from a waking man's grasp, you evade attempts to chain your mind.
    Prerequisites: Iron Will, base Will save +12.
    Benefits: Whenever you are targeted by a mind-affecting ability that allows a save, you may take an amount of non-lethal damage equal to the DC of the save to automatically succeed on it. Nothing can prevent that damage. For the rest of the encounter, you automatically make your save against any subsequent mind-affecting ability that would impose the same influence.

    Memory-Reweaving Discipline
    You define others' reality.
    Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Bluff), Bluff 25 ranks.
    Benefit: Whenever your Bluff check to tell a lie exceeds a character's Sense Motive check by 10 or more, you may alter their memories, as the modify memory spell, to make your lie seem completely true to them. This is a supernatural ability.

    Benefit: You automatically succeed on all Sense Motive checks to determine if you are being lied to. If another character has an ability that allows them to automatically succeed on effects that oppose this one, then the character with the higher number of skill ranks prevails. If their is a tie, flip a coin to determine who takes precedence.

    Legendary Scholar Curriculum
    You are master to countless apprentices of magic.
    Prerequisites: Leadership, Knowledge (Arcana) 25 ranks, Spellcraft 25 ranks, Caster level 25th

    Graceful Crane Stance
    You are as graceful as sunlight on water.
    Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Balance), Balance 25 ranks.
    Benefit: You gain the effect of a permanent spider climb spell–and this is not a supernatural ability.You automatically succeed on all Balance checks. If another character has an ability that allows them to automatically succeed on effects that oppose this one, then the character with the higher number of skill ranks prevails.

    Mountain-Crossing Leap
    Gravity? **** it.
    Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Jump), Jump 25 ranks.
    Benefit: Whenever you make a long jump, you may make a mountain-crossing leap. You still use the normal table of long jump DC's, but replace "feet" with "miles". You reach a maximum altitude of half the distance of the jump, and take no falling damage. You are still limited by your movement speed, by multiply the amount you may move each round by 50 while making a mountain-crossing leap. If you take any action other than the move action to continue jumping during the mountain-crossing leap, you lose control–you still travel the full difference, but take full falling damage upon impact, land prone, and are stunned for 1d20 rounds upon landing.

    Unsurpassed Sense Discipline
    Nothing escapes your notice.
    Prerequisites: Awareness, Listen 25 ranks, Spot 25 ranks.
    Benefit: You automatically succeed on all Listen and Spot checks. You may always make a Spot check in place of a Search check.

If their is a tie, flip a coin to determine who takes precedence.

    Seven Shadows Evasion
    You are too quick for your enemies to land a blow.
    Prerequisites: Combat Expertise, Mobility, Lightning Reflexes, base Reflex save +12.
    Benefit: Whenever an enemy makes a melee or ranged weapon attack against you, that attack automatically misses unless the sum of their Base Attack Bonus, epic attack bonus, and Strength or Dexterity modifier, as appropriate, exceeds your Dexterity modifier +15.

    Flow Like Blood
    You move with impossibly fluid grace.
    Prerequisites: Seven Shadows Evasion
    Benefit: Whenever an enemy makes a full attack against you, each subsequent attack takes a -5 penalty, beyond normal iterative attack penalties. This also reduces the sum needed to exceed your Dexterity +15 to avoid missing due to Seven Shadows Evasion.

    Flawlessly Impenetrable Disguise
    None see through your masquerade.
    Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Disguise), Disguise 25 ranks.
    Benefit: You automatically succeed on all Disguise checks. If another character has an ability that allows them to automatically succeed on effects that oppose this one, then the character with the higher number of skill ranks prevails. If their is a tie, flip a coin to determine who takes precedence.

    Flawless Pickpocketing
    Yoink!
    Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Sleight of Hand), Sleight of Hand 25 ranks.
    Benefit: You automatically succeed on all Sleight of Hand checks. If another character has an ability that allows them to automatically succeed on effects that oppose this one, then the character with the higher number of skill ranks prevails. If their is a tie, flip a coin to determine who takes precedence.

    Lock-Opening Touch
    Unskilled thieves must struggle with lockpicks. Not you.
    Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Open Lock), Open Lock 25 ranks.
    Benefit: You automatically succeed on all Open Lock checks, regardless of whether or not you have appropriate tools or lockpicks. If another character has an ability that allows them to automatically succeed on effects that oppose this one, then the character with the higher number of skill ranks prevails. If their is a tie, flip a coin to determine who takes precedence.

    Easily Overlooked Presence Method
    This feat doesn't exist. You're not reading it. Carry on.
    Prerequisites: Stealthy, Hide 25 ranks, Move Silently 25 ranks
    Benefit: You automatically succeed on all Hide and Move Silently checks. If another character has an ability that allows them to automatically succeed on effects that oppose this one, then the character with the higher number of skill ranks prevails. If their is a tie, flip a coin to determine who takes precedence.

    Flashing Thunderbolt Steed
    Your mounts are imbued with infinite energy.
    Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Ride), Ride 25 ranks
    Benefits: Any mount you ride has its base land speed multiplied by 50 while running. This explicitly applies to ridiculous situations, such as riding your party mates.

    Sometimes Horses Fly
    You inspire your mounts to unusual feats.
    Prerequisites: Flashing Thunderbolt Speed
    Benefits: Any mount you ride gains a fly speed equal to its base land speed, with perfect maneuverability. This explicitly applies to ridiculous situations, such as riding your party mates.

    Balance is completely eye-balled and grounded on the premise that anything these can do, wizards can do better. Logical extensions of some feats, especially the perfect skill check ones, should be obvious. BAB and base save prerequisites do not include epic attack and save bonuses–a feat with BAB +20 as a requirement can only be taken by a character with full BAB classes from 1st-20th levels, etc.

    Oh my god... combine the last two feats you just listed with a druid wildshaping into a T-rex...

    LIGHTNING SPEED FLYING DINOSAURS!

    Anyway, all of the feats are pretty absurd, but magic still might have the edge as written. Of course, if the guy is nerfing magic, then we might have a problem.
