New Feats for the ToEE Engine

Good'un ya!! My reverse engineering skills will be more than adequate in my next life. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity.

 

Would it be possible to modify the requirements of Diehard to have two alternative prerequisites: Great Fortitude, or Ranger 3?

 

I know a 'break' feat was breifly mentioned above, but can I give my take on it?

Personally, I feel this feat would be an amazin gaddition, since it would actually give a reason for NPCs carrying multiple weapons and side arms...

Prerequisites: Strength 18, base attack bonus +4 (?)

D020 + Str roll. Roll has to equal or exceed the weapon types AC (Light weapon, AC-12; Normal Weapon, AC-14; Two handed weapon, AC-16, Light shield/buckler AC-15, Heavy Shield AC-20, Tower shield AC-22)

The feat would be activated like trip attack, and would target the selected opponents held weapon. If the enemy uses a shield, the attack will default to this instead. Masterwork weapons gain a +1 to AC, while magical weapons cannot be broken (unless by another magic weapon, possibly?)

I can't imagine this would be TOO hard to implement, and would add a fun extra dynamic to combat

What to people thing? I don't know if it's PNP accurate, but it would be a fun addition that would take away the annoyance of having to script each weapon (The check used the weapon type instead)

The damage destroys the weapon outright, for simplicities sake.

 

...Sorry for trying to make a suggestion.

My method seems much simpler to implement, involving an AC check VS D20 roll, but I suppose you guys have other considerations in mind. After gaining a little bit more experience, I'll have a go at scripting something simmilar for my own personal use and report back.

 

Any interest in creating a replacement class ability for the paladin's mount? If so, consider PHB2's replacement option Charging Smite:

Benefit - Starting at 5th level, if you smite a creature on a charge attack you deal 2 extra points of damage per paladin level to any evil creature you hit (in addition to the normal damage bonus dealt by the smite). Of the charge attack misses, the smite is not considered used. This is a supernatural ability.

 

What non-lethal damage on charging issue?

I saw a comment on Sunder but I think Disarm would be even easier to implement - or not!

 

What if instead of giving a Paldin a special mount, we give him a "celestial companion"?

Much like familiars for wizards...

For example, when the ability it's available (4 or 5 level), then you get the list and choose a companion from there, but they would be much more though than familiars.
It would be more or less RAW, since there's a prestige class that turns a chaotic good charcter into a kind of chaotic good paladin, but instead of a mount it gets the celestial companion.

Of course, all this if new abilities can be added to basic charcters...

 

I. H_K, you are referring to the Holy Liberator from Complete Divine.
The allowed animals are: cat, eagle, hawk, warhorse, owl, pony, riding dog, or wolf.

II. From the Monster Manual, but can be applied to PC/NPCs.......
Ability Focus (stunning fist): Add +2 to the DC.

 

Hum, i've readed the "help with animations please" thread of Cuchulainn.

I too think that spiked shield would be the best solution.
Apparently, he seemed to have a solution for the shield rotating in combat mode.
Alternatively, the new Kukri model could be tried. It's wielded as a shield, and in combat rotates in the correct angle.
And now, we know that we can get rid of the goofy animations

Btw, i do like the idea of spell components. A belt equipable in the thief's tools slot would make it ? (just to save time and troubles, we could assume that the wiz/sorc re-fill the belt periodically)
Tho i don't know how to prevent the charcter to cast spells without the belt. It would be cool, and give interestig plot situations, for example, PCs taken prisoners :evil_laug
Of course, the same should be done with clerics n druids (holy symbol, and gold sickle needed respectively)
