Swordskill Feats - LurkerGG - 03-31-2019
[color=#000000][font=Arial][color=#99ccff]Swordskill Feats[/color][/font][/color]
With the recent change to Swordskills and the Sword Saint, (check them out HERE) I felt there was a need to further expand the options for those who wanted to use these amazing changed. These feats are designed to give swordsaints and other archetypes that use the swordskill system a greater amount of options and chances to specialize in these skills. At the moment I have just a few but hope to grow the list after some feedback.
Everything posted here should also be available on the google doc HERE https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L_udMgtJt91YzafSMKsykQdULvMdT2HG7q5T5T_pZdE/edit?usp=sharing
That being said here are some design notes.
- Dark sword skill feats are recommended to cause the following status effects; blind, deafen, dimmed, shaken, sicken
- Dark sword skill feats are recommenced to drain hp/mp/stamina or bonus damage based on the characters missing health
- Holy sword skill feats are recommended to cause the following status effects; dazed, dazzled, entangled, silence, staggered, stun, slow conditions are recommended
- Holy sword skill feats should grant bonuses and heal the user and allies.
- Destroy sword skill feats are recommended to cause the following status effects; the broken condition is recommended and providing free combat maneuver attempts.
- Destroy sword skill feats should give penalties to opponents and break equipment
- Universal sword skill feats should focus on elemental damage and altering the way swordskills attack (turning them into ranged touch attacks, aoes, ect.)
