This whole reflexive response "if you worship more than one, then you're obviously not devout enough to have a diety in your field so make it blank" is both historically inacurrate and illogical to me, and seems more in line with OOC western monotheistic thought than IC devotion.
Sorry if I'm further derailing this thread, but I simply gotta know: Are there specific combinations of classes that aren't allowed? And I mean both in terms of rules and what DMs what actually approve.
Just was browsing LORE and have another question :Is LORE correct in saying FIGHTERS can take : overwhelming critical and devastating critical ?
Why should that not be allowed? I should be fairly simple to come up with an IC reason and, IIRC, it's not all that powerful (well, good but not too powerful IMHO).
Because this from LORE points to the fact you will need " weapon of choice "This is a " weaponmaster lvl 1 " feat and you need it to get "owerwhelming criticals " witch you need to take " devastating criticals "OVERWHELMING CRITICALSType of Feat: (Epic) CombatPrerequisite:Strength 23 21st level Cleave Great Cleave Improved Critical (chosen weapon) Power Attack Required for: Devastating CriticalSpecifics: When using the weapon chosen, the character deals +1d6 points of damage on a successful critical hit. If the weapons critical multiplier is x3, add +2d6 and if the multiplier is x4, add 3d6.Use: Automatic
All classes are allowed to take Overwelming crit and Dev crit aslong as they meet the prerequisite for it. Problem is that Overwelming crit isn't that big of deal.. its more or less a speedbump for taking the precious Devestating Crit. But since Dev crit is extremly powerful Layo have changed the prerequisite from 25 in base str to 30. This means You need to invest tons of feats in great strenght to get it and its simply not whorth it..Atleast not in my opinion
Not sure when that was changed then , when i looked all that time back it still said it required 28 ( which i can get to ) and i haven't seen anything indicating it was changed That , together with "chosen weapon " giving others the opportunity to take " overwhelming criticals " and with that opening up " devastating criticals " reduces a "weapon-master" to a simple fighter that is 3 points faster then a " normal " fighter at lvl 13 WM lvl's .nice to hear the "weapon-master " has been reduced to just that , no wonder no-one takes more then 7 lvl's in it ( since you can afford to miss the last +1 on attacks if you can switch it for "epic damage reduction " ...a feat fighters get ...but weapon-masters don't )
They can take it as a bonus feat if they meet the prerequisites, as I understand it. They don't get it free.
Something odd about the Epic Damage Reduction bit, is that the LORE page specifies weapon masters get "Damage Reduction". I'm guessing this is a mistake, because weapon masters do get in fact [LORE]Epic Damage Reduction[/LORE] .
This may be because, in the HotU manual (in my edition at least), the epic feat is refered to as "Damage Reduction".Regards,Script Wrecked.
