One Weapon

2021-08-18T21:53:29Z

77.190.173.169: /* Gameplay Notes */

===One Weapon===

Type of Feat: General [Style]
Prerequisite: Tumble 6, BaB +6
Use: Selected (mode)
If you are fighting with only one weapon, and carrying nothing in your
off hand, the One Weapon feat enables a combat style in which you narrow
<nowiki> </nowiki>your profile and situationally attempt to dodge, deflect, and dish out
attacks. While the style is active you gain +1 dodge AC.

If you roll a 6 or higher during combat (on a d10, unrelated to attacks, secretly rolled) you perform a tumble skill check for one of several maneuvers.

You may perform an acrobatic dodge (+4 tumble, +1 dodge AC), a weaving assault (+d4 AB), insightful footwork (+2 dodge AC one round), a deflecting sweep (1 Deflection AC, +1 for every ten parry ranks), or an off-hand swap (+4 bluff), all these bonuses last 1 round.

== Gameplay Notes ==
This feat works now with Two-Handed Weapons (e.g. Greatsword,Greataxe...). The only restriction is you cant carry something in your offhand (no second weapon, no shield). Your weapon doesnt have to be a light weapon to enable this feat. Does not work with Unarmed Attacks.
Disabled for Wildshapes and creature weapons.

Death Attack

2021-08-18T18:57:57Z

77.190.173.169:

{{FeatInfo
|type = Class
|Prereq = [[Assassin]] level 1
|Req = None
|Specifics = At 1st level, the Assassin can make a special sneak attack called a Death Attack. This ability adds to the Rogue's [[Sneak Attack]] ability, adding an extra 1d6 points of damage, if you already have levels of Rogue.
If used against an opponent not already in combat, a successful death attack forces the victim to make a [[fortitude]] save or become paralyzed.

The DC for a target to become paralyzed is equal to; 10 + Assassin Level + INT modifier.
|Use = Automatic
}}

==Gameplay notes==
Death attack does not normally work against creatures immune to [[critical hit|critical hits]]. However, if the assassin has [[Epic Precision]], then death attack will bypass such immunity entirely, dealing full damage but does not paralyze the target. This is contrary to the in-game description of the feat.

This ability has a powerful interaction with [[Manyshot]]. Every time two arrows are notched instead of one, both arrows will deal death attack damage and potentially paralyze the target. As such, a character with 7 or more ranged attacks per round (3 in the first "flurry") using manyshot on an unsuspecting opponent will deal six death attacks, causing high damage and forcing six fortitude saves, paralyzing the target if at least one save fails.

Shield Bash

2021-08-18T12:57:59Z

77.190.173.169: /* Shield Bash */

===Shield Bash===

Type of Feat: General
Prerequisite: None
Use: Selected (mode)

You can bash an opponent with a shield, using it as an off-hand weapon. Used this way, a shield is a martial bludgeoning weapon. For the purpose of penalties on attack rolls, treat a shield as a one-handed weapon. When you perform a shield bash, you may still apply the shield's shield bonus to your AC. Shield size impacts how hard it is to use as an off hand weapon as well as determining the amount of damage it does if it hits. Larger shields tend to be more difficult to bash with but do notably more damage. Shields can have critical hits when used as an off-hand weapon.

The additional attack penalty while Shield Bashing mode is on is: 0 Light, 2 Heavy, 2 Tower. This excludes the default 'to hit' attack penalty for having a tower shield equipped, which adds another 2 to the penalty. The Agile Shield Fighter and Two-Weapon Fighting feats can each negate up 2 from the penalty.

The base damage for every shield type is d3 Light, d4 Heavy, d6 Tower plus the strength modifier of the bashing character. Shield Bash benefits from all the Shield Weapon Focus/Specialization feats as well as Epic Prowess. When Shield Bashing is on, the shield AC on the shield acts as an EB on a weapon - it will increase both AB and damage for the attacks. Bonus Damage on the shield adds damage to the bash attacks. If enabled, Power Attack and Improved Power Attack add extra damage at the appropriate penalty. The shield cannot be made a Keen weapon by spell. No spell or magical effects (e.g. Flame Weapon, Divine Might, etc.) add further damage to a shield bash attack. A shield bash executed during a charge counts as a free charge attack and gains all of the bonuses from Charging including a damage bonus from Powerful Charge.

Shield Bash can get up to 3 attacks per round:
* Improved Two-Weapon Fighting will give 2 attacks/round
* Greater Two-Weapon Fighting will give 3 attacks/round
* Agile Shield Fighter + any 1 Shield Weapon (focus or specialization) feat will give 2 attacks/round
* Agile Shield Fighter + any 2 Shield Weapon (focus or specialization) feats will give 3 attacks/round
During the bash attack the Shield AC bonus is not deducted from the character's total armor class. (This is the Improved Shield Bash feat equivalent in PnP Terms)

== Gameplay Notes ==
Unlike PnP Shield Bash does not give full two weapon fighting penalties on BGTSCC.

To activate the feat, you drag the icon from the Character Sheet->Feats onto your hotbar. Then you just click on it to activate it (it requires an equipped shield)

Two Weapon Fighting, whether it has been selected as a feat or from an item, negates the -2 AB penalty when you turn Shield Bash on.

Shield Bash cannot sneak attack.

Enhanced Power Attack from Frenzied Berzerker PrC doesnt enhance PA/IPA on Shield Bash.

The feat needed for the 2nd or 3rd attack is actually a Shield Weapon Specialization (that one that gives +2 dmg with that shield). Only Shield Specialization (that one that gives +1 AC with Shield) doesnt give a 2nd or 3rd attack, although it´s a prequisite to be able to pick Agile Shield Fighter.

Self-Concealment

77.190.173.169:

{{FeatInfo|type=General, Epic
|Prereq=Character level 21

|Specifics=Attacks against you have a 10% chance to miss automatically. This feat may be taken multiple times, to a maximum of 50%.
|Use=Automatic
}}
==Notes==
It's actually impossible to take this feat five times due to the skill requirement, which means only characters level 27 and above can take it. There is no way to get 5 feats within those 4 levels, even if 3b20 was not a requirement. With some careful planning, it is possible to take it 4 times for a 40% permanent concealment.

It is also unknown if the concealment granted by this feat is affected by the BG fix to True Seeing.

A divine spellcaster who rises high in the service of his deity gains access to spells and abilities of which lesser faithful can only dream.

The hierophant is a prestige class of clerics and druids. Hierophants are higher members of clergy and druidic circles who decide to temporarily forgo gaining the highest levels of divine magic in order to concentrate on the mastery of what they already possess. This has the chief consequence of having spells that are much more potent than normal, allowing hierophants to heal and damage much more efficiently and powerfully through understanding rather than calling on more involved prayers.

== Requirements ==
Race: Any

Alignment: Any

Skills: Lore ( Religion ) 15 ranks OR Lore ( Nature ) 15 ranks

Feats: Any metamagic feat

Spell level: Able to cast 7th Circle Divine spells or higher

- Bonus Feats: The hunter adds a number of trap-enhancing choices to the ranger's bonus-feat-list.

- Barbed Traps:

Perequisites: Hunter Trapping

Specifics: A quarry who sets of a trap without succeeding the reflex saving throw is now slowed by barbs specifically designed to impair its movement. The slow effect lasts for one round per four hunter levels and is always three rounds minimally. If the target succeeds the reflex throw saving throw the slow effect is still applied but only for two rounds.

Use: Automatic

Entangling Traps:

Perequisites: Hunter Trapping

Specifics: A quarry who sets of a trap without succeeding the reflex saving throw is now entangled. The entanglement lasts for one round per four hunter levels and is always three rounds minimally.

Use: Automatic

Poisoned Traps:

Perequisites: Hunter Trapping

Specifics: You add a poison to your traps. The Poison is applied if the target fails the reflex saving throw. The Poison DC scales to 14, 17 21,24,27 and 30, whenever the reflex saving throw's DC reaches this threshold. The base poison DC is 10. All poisons do constitution damage.

Use: Automatic

== Hunter Trapping ==

Specifics: A hunter can lay down an improvised trap once every turn. A trap does 1d6 piercing damage for every ranger level, with a reflex save to halve the damage. The reflex save is 10, +1 for every five hunter levels, and +1 for every five ranks in the craft trap skill. The number of traps a hunter can have active at the same time is one for every 10 ranger levels. The maximum number is four, the first trap being granted at level one, the second at level 10, and so on. Higher level hunters gain a progressing cooldown reduction and so are able to lay traps more quickly. At levels 6, 10 and 14 ten seconds are deducted. And from 14 onwards the cooldown is reduced by one round for every four levels, finally reaching one round at level 30.

Use: Selected

== Extra Favored Enemy ==

Specifics: You may select an additional Favored Enemy feat at hunter level 4 and 9. These stack with your progression as a ranger.

Use: Selected through conversation

== Notes ==

- Hunter Trapping's cool down reduction is not properly displayed, it starts the timer at 60 seconds only in the end it deducts the reduced cool down. So if you are supposed to have a 10 seconds reduced cool down it will simply be available again once it hits the 10 seconds remaining cool down.

- The traps saving throw DCs are not displayed, however you can look at them by trying to disable your own traps.

- It is also not displayed if enemies fail their saving throws or not, neither for the trap itself nor for the poison they might apply if the Poisoned Traps feat was selected
