OK folks lets plunk'em down. What is you favorite feat from the new Dragonlance Book? What is your favorite feat (or ability) to use in a Dragonlance Campaign setting? What kind of feat would you like to see created in the upcoming books?

My favorite new feats are (pardon my paraphrasing, I don't have my books in front of me):
1. Straffing Breath weapon--Finally we see just how devastating a Dragon's breath can be
2. Improved Dragonfear Resistance-- now I have a shot at not running for the hills everytime one of those scaly critters comes along.

Feats (or ability) I like to use: Well, my PC (yes, a woefully underpowered Dragon Disciple) has a few levels of Ranger. He took Dragons as his favored enemy---huzzahhh!! His bonuses apply to all Draconians as well!!

Feats I would like to see--hmm... how about some more race specific ones, that provide additional bonuses for favored classes. Like a fast healing for a Kagonesti/Barbarian, or special wizardry school bonuses for Silvanesti, or some-sort of Gladiator bonus for a minotaur.

My favorite feat from the DLCS is Reserves of Strength. Since I always play spellcasters (especially sorcerers, of course), that feat comes in real handy when you want to do a little more damage or healing than you otherwise normally would.
As for a feat that I want to see, I was both shocked and pleased to see that the Spellcasting Prodigy feat was included in the Age of Mortals companion; not only that, but SP survived the transition to 3.5 E unchanged! :D
I'm one happy customer just because of that right there.

Tremendous Charge! Imagine, riding a Dragon and getting to use your mount's strength instead of your own for strength for damage! Which is multiplied by charge multipliers! It has to be done with a Lance, but iwth Spirited Charge: (1d8 + Dragon's Strength Modifier) * 3!

Speaking of Honor-bound, I find it odd that the only Knight of Neraka order that has it as a requirement are the Lily Knights. I can see letting the Thorn Knights slide with their stiff requirements. But, Skull Knights...Alertness? Please. If you're going to make one of those horrid space-taking "plus to X" feats a requirement, atleast make it something to do with being a Knight.

Anyway..I like Honor-bound and Reserves of Strength too. My favorite ability would have to be the Black Robe's "Magic of Hunger", it shows off their obsession with the magic above their own health.

Could someone list the feats in the DLCS? And what their general functions are.

REALLY!!!??? are there any prerequisites to take the Spell Casting Prodigy feat?


By the way i didn't like Honor Bound, it needs much of DM judgement, so he may argue it doesn´t apply in many cases, what a waste ¬¬

On the other hand, Tremendous Charge rules!!!

Pshaw. It's a good flavor piece, and helps to keep the feel of the various honorable organizations (i.e. knights) and races (i.e. minotaurs).

I like the Draconian Breath Weapon, the Improved Draconian Breah Weapon and Spectacular Death Throe! It adds more detail and makes my draco villains (you just gotta love those dracos!)more dangerous. Players don´t expect a draconian to suddenly breathe deadly (fire/acid/lightning/cold) :D

Only 1st-level characters can take it.

Good thing my minotaur is taking fighter classes or else I'd never have any combat feats.

1st lvl. - Hulking Brute
3rd lvl. - Scent
6th lvl. - Honor Bound
