  • Defensive Awareness 2 allows you to avoid flank attacks. This is technically the same as Eyes in the Back of Your Head in the Sword and Fist book - however since NWN disallows sneak attacks if you're not flanking this breaks sneak attacks. Would either need the sneak attack part of the feat to be removed, or a second hardcoded feat effect that stops the bonus flank attacks provide against you instead.

You'd have a successor feat which the second one has 2 uses instead of 1 use per day, hopefully that would work.

Starting feat improvement. All the starting feats related to skills generally give +4 total. However the +2 spot was all that was really relevant. Increase it to +3 and increase the initiative bonus makes sense.

Not a level 1 only feat!

As Blooded, we increase to +3 each since Initiative isn't as useful. The reason for not +4 is that Smooth Talk is a +4 bonus, so this would just be purely better (unless we implement some specific conversation edits for Smooth Talk). This therefore is strictly better than Skill Focus: Persuade but that is required for Greater Skill Focus.

Sap


No Format
Type of Feat: General
Prerequisite: Base Attack Bonus +1, Called Shot.
Required for: Stunning Fist.
Specifics: A character with this feat is able to make a special stun attack in melee. He makes an attack roll with a -4 penalty, and if the hit successfully deals damage the defender must make a Discipline check with a DC equal to the attacker's attack roll. If the defender fails, he or she is dazed for 12 seconds.
Use: Selected.



No Format
Type of Feat: General
Prerequisite: Base Attack Bonus +4, Called Shot.
Specifics: A character with this feat is able to make a special stun attack in melee. The target creature must at most large sized. The character makes an attack roll with a -6 penalty, and if the hit successfully deals damage the defender must make a Discipline check with a DC equal to the attacker's attack roll. If the defender fails, he or she is dazed for 6 seconds.
Use: Selected.


Increased requirements (+4 BAB and Called Shot)

Make it so it only does 6 seconds of Daze. -6 to hit so worse than Knockdown but the effect is generally better and isn't size dependent.

To be honest this is more a "maybe" change. Put in for now and test. A bigger thing would be adding more active feats that need to hit and apply some scripted effect. More difficult to add though (although a toggle on/off, which applies a On Hit effect to your weapon, might do).

Might be good as a fighter/divine champion bonus feat.

Dirty Fighting


No Format
Type of Feat: General
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +2.
Specifics: The character knows brutal and effective fighting tactics. By sacrificing all other attacks during the round, the character can elect to perform a dirty fighting move that will deal an extra 1d4 points of damage. This mode cannot be used with power attack.
Use: Combat Mode.



No Format
Type of Feat: General
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +2.
Specifics: The character knows brutal and effective fighting tactics. By sacrificing all other attacks during the round, the character can elect to perform a dirty fighting move that will deal an extra 1d8 points of damage. This mode cannot be used with power attack.
Use: Combat Mode.


1d8 extra damage for a feat is not the craziest (great for smaller characters too, with lower powered weapons even when 2 handed). You need more investment in levels for 2 attacks, and some feats for 2 weapon fighting, but it makes the feat go from "Meh" to "useful before level 5" at least.
