Nov 17, 2003 15:24:54 Hold the Line and Shield Wall both look very familiar. Aren't they from published D&D products like Sword & Fist?

Cheers,

Nov 17, 2003 15:38:25 Hold the line is the name of a feat from S&F but it is not the same feat. I have changed the name of the feat to remove confusion.

So how do the feats look besides familiar?

Nov 17, 2003 16:24:24 Showed them to my players and they went ecstatic. It´s an all minotaur party so they can put the feats to good use.

As far as I´m concerned the hold fast and shield wall feats works fine with Knights as well as minotaurs (KoS and KoN). I like the Horned RUsh and Brute Force because they make the horn attack much more damaging (which it hasn´t been so far in my view).

The horned axe should weigh more considering it requires 18 strength and Large size to handle it...24 pounds isn´t all that much...

Nov 17, 2003 16:33:55 Well 24 lbs makes it twice that of a great axe. You also need a high strength not just because of size but weight distribution. Its just so awkward for a non large sized guy to use. TheHorned axe also has a hammer head on one end (fdor fighting the Thenolites skeletons) and a axe head on the other

As for the horned damage as it stands, well I think it is a joke. No one in their right mind would make a charge attack with a horn that does 2d8 damage (with the horned stampede feat) when he has a +3 great sword that doesnt need a feat.

As for why the shield wall and hold fast are Minotaur feats is because even KoS don't march in a shield wall formation but the Romans did and the League of Minotaurs (very Romanesque) do in my world anyway,hehe.

Nov 17, 2003 17:17:52 The League of Minotaurs are very Romanesque...but as the description of the feat says it doesn´t require a formation...merely an ally with the same feat...

As for the axe...you do make a good point. I´m still reducing the strengh thing to 16 or 17...a weapon might be unhandy to wield but the average strength is 9-10...The Large Size requirement is fine.

Nov 17, 2003 18:15:14 Well the shield wall feat actually does say that it works while in a formation with an ally on your weapon side with that feat but it really doesnt matter since its up to a DM as to what they will allow anyway,hehe

Im glad you like my Minotaur twaekings.:D

Nov 17, 2003 21:08:51 shield wall looks pretty similar to the same feat in Green Ronin's dwarf book (Hammer and Helm). Looks good though

Nov 18, 2003 7:34:52 Oh, well I dont have any of those types of books,hehe.

I was also thinking that maybe it should provide 80% cover or the such rather than another bonus to AC but I dont know,hehe.
