Wits over Brawl - A Combat Mode feat

[Sun Wukong]

Wits over Brawl

Requirement: BAB 6

- With this combat stance you calm down and focus your mind to make the best of the situation you are current in. The number of attacks you can do is cut by half and you may use your intelligence modifier instead of your strength modifier with melee attacks as long as your intelligence modifier is not more than twice your strength modifier. No matter how smart you are, there are some things you just cannot do without the strength of body to act as the foundation.

Thus, a character with 20 strength and 30 intelligence would get +10 AB from intelligence. But a with 16 strength and 30 intelligence would only get +6 AB from intelligence.

Note: it is possible to get melee damage from intelligence modifier, but it requires 5 levels of Swashbuckler and/or the following feats: Combat Expertise, Epic Prowess, and Combat Insight.
