| I dislike this for the same reason I hate Deflect Arrows. It should be an opposed attack roll as an immediate action or... something. But it's too easy this way, and completely screws over people who use martial strikes. |
- Well if deflect arrow is houserule so is this fat, given it behave exactly like deflect arrow. --Leziad (talk) 21:33, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Wait, you're opposing (read: asking to be removed from the wiki) on the grounds that it works like a published mechanic that you dislike? That's super weird, particularly since I just defended one of your feats from an oppose for similar reasons. - Tarkisflux Talk 22:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
"Spell" Effects
Leziad, deflect arrows specifically disallows blocking of ranged attacks generated by spell effects. I suspect this would disallow melee attacks generated by spell effect, but what about melee attacks generated by initiator effect? As there are no ranged weapon schools in ToB, I suspect that there isn't an official-ish ruling on those interactions anywhere yet. Seems like the sort of thing you should write in here, even if it's just something like "(Su) and (Sp) melee attacks may not be deflected". - Tarkisflux Talk 22:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Good point, i added that you cannot deflect supernatural ranged attacks. Seem in line with what deflect arrow would do. --Leziad (talk) 22:37, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Requirements
Since you can use this feat with a shield in your hand, why would its access be limited to unarmed fighters only? I would recommend adding an alternative, shield-oriented prerequisite to the feat, such as Shield Specialization or such. -HarrowedMind (talk) 23:18, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
