New feat resources

[xXCrystal_Rose]

Turn Undead already has a custom script change. As rarely given DM loot Turn Undead can apply special effects instead of its normal ability. I think it'd be neat if that same script method were applied to other feats as well. Instead of a Divine Shield consuming a Turn Undead charge for AC it could maybe do something else. Instead of a Stunning Fist doing a stun it could maybe apply a Combust spell for a Kossuthan monk or an enhanced Doom for a Jergalite monk or Scare for a Baneite monk. Something styled to the style like how turn undead is. Ki strikes for the rare Weaponmasters might have their own thing too.


I know it's a bit of work to take the Turn Undead customization script and swap it for other stuff and there are more important matters right now, but hey, it's something to think about. Doesn't have to be exclusively for Turn Undead. That kinda thing can apply to all feats which have uses/day.

Stunning fist is hardcoded -- there is no messing with that feat. Some feats that are similar to spells have their own script and can be adjusted, such as divine shield, turn undead, remove disease and wholeness of body.

There are two things that need to be in place before anything like this can be realized.

The first is a DM willing to make the efforts of actually scripting the new content. As an example making the four undead sorcerer perks took me the better part of a day and days afterwards trying to debug what cropped up. Other perks that are less complex can be done faster but you are still looking at hours of investment. There is no guarantee anyone will take it on.

However, the second part and something that will heavily influence the first, is the concrete suggestions already being in place. There is one thing to say something would be nice to have, an entirely other thing to present a list of specific suggestions/adjustments for what is being proposed. If it is already there it is easier to balance and make, compared to trying to figure it all out yourself.

There is also the question of how much use any suggested adjustments will meet.

Wrapped all up: If you present a list of specific suggestions, it is both easier and more likely to happen. If it can be done at all.
