Feat Suggestion Thread

[turalisj]

A lot of the shunpo feats need to be gone through and reworked. Feats are going to be focused on* after the classes are done.


*- I am not an official member of the dev team, so don't take my word for it.

[blackestofmages]

** but he's right. they're a "we have a few minutes spare, lets look at a feat" thing at the moment. we want classes to bebetter defined than feats

[Shirokiba]

I see, well.... I'm planning to be a shunpo master in an upcoming bleach game, so I was wondering if there'd been some temp fix for it or something cause as Shunpo is handled now a level 20 Warrior Shinigami is just as good as the Expert since the class feature caps at level 20. Also, I didn't see a topic for feats, but given that it is almost 3am here.... I'm likely overlooking it.

[blackestofmages]

feat suggestion thread. will work on it later tonight.

also, didn't notice they got any difference, since they both have the feature listed at the same level...

[Shirokiba]

Actually, there is no different as it stands between an expert shinigami's shunpo and a warrior shinigami's which is kinda disappointing, that was one thing about the older versions of Bleach D20 I liked, when it came to Shunpo, the Expert was, well, the Expert. I shall remember to post in the feats thread next time, sorry about that.

Also, I just noticed that Shunpo was changed to 5ft*character level. Dunno how I missed that.

[Major]

Sorry for delays, we are very busy past few days due to all the people showing up because of T's game and pointing out changes and things to make.

Between Quincies needed the stuff that is completed, a few things that are done but needed uploading, PrCs needing fixing, certain members ignoring class features and thinking Shinigami sucks, and now shunpo we are a bit slow.

Just a heads up of the work load so you understand.

[blackestofmages]

yep, you all got shunpo speed that was flash step rather than light illumination step

wait, what, someone actually thinks Shinigami suck.... uh.... wha.... I cannot even begin to fathom how they could, even if they missed half the class abilities. I mean unless Shinigami can only use a pink plush bunny as a weapon that makes a squeak sound, I think the Shinigami are plenty powerful XD

[Major]

If you really curious go look at the AC thread's last few pages...

People are claiming the fullbringer is overpowered because it gets a few nice abilities combatwise in exchange for...well...having only that. Most of their class abilities powerup their weapon or fullbring.

[Shirokiba]

uh... I think I will spare myself the repeated face palms and take your word for it. I wasn't trying to rush anything about Shunpo, I was just asking to see if anyone had any quick fixes, since Increased Shunpo had a requirement that could be fulfilled by level 3, but would not grant a benefit till level 4.

[Major]

Well technically the requirement is also because if you have a poor reflex save as your choice you still meet the pre-reqs.

Even still there are a few feats that can be taken earlier than you use them. Consider them "investments"

Like specialized and multitype can be taken pre-shikai (given your weapon is always a type, it just doesn't have access to powers).

Two-weapon fighting can be taken before you get two weapons. Things like that.

So as a quick fix? Just take it early and don't use it or take it when you have it. That feat needs a fix, but its not too horrible. (It's not like it isn't usable)

And I realize you aren't rushing us and have been quite polite in your comments. Thus why I felt the need to say something to you about "Hey, if we are slow forgive us here is the issue."

Thanks for being understanding and what not.

If you really want Increased Shunpo that badly

Increased Shunpo [Shunpo]
Prerequisite: base Reflex save +3
Benefit: You count as two levels higher for Shunpo.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.
Special: If you have Hirenkyaku you instead move an extra 5ft per SC.

and a new feat

Shunpo Adept [Shunpo]
Prerequisite: base Reflex save +2
Benefit: You gain the Shunpo or Hierenyaku or Sonido depending on whether you are a Shinigami, a Quincy, or a Hollow respectively.
Normal: You do not gain these abilities until later.
Special: If you gain these abilities later on you may trade out this feat for any other [Shunpo] feat.
Special: At levels 1 and 2 you may use Shunpo or Sonido by spending 3 SEP even though this exceeds your SEP limit per turn.

Reasoning: Now non-Arrancar Hollows can use Sonido and the new Shunpo is relatively balanced at level 1 as it only lets you move 5ft per level. An extra 5ft step at level for a swift action and a feat is not overpowering.

[blackestofmages]

or (see, I do keep my promises)

Improved Shunpo
Prerequisites: Shunpo/Hirenkyaku
when using Shunpo (or equivalent) actions, she can move an additional 10ft for no extra cost.

she can use both this and Shunpo Trail at one time. If she does so, she creates a number of major images equal to the number of mirror images she would of made.

tada! just been chillin in the admin section getting feedback from those folk first

also, moving us to the feat thread

[blackestofmages]

dunno if moving stuff here bumps, so...

bump

[Major]

Can I point out that buxom says it gives a -2 to males in line of site but not one what?

I assume its supposed to be everything, but that can be a bit silly. -2 to notice the tits (spot), -2 to damage? Attack makes sense, damage?
