Divine Champion getting Fighter Feats

Unread post by zhazz »

Hi there.

Inspired by Steve's thread on Divine Champion feats I'd like to suggest some other changes to Divine Champion.

Divine Champion (DC) is one of the few PrCs, which require Weapon Focus.

Yet the bonus feats granted by DC doesn't include any of the feats, which have Weapon Focus as a (derived) requirement.

TL;DR
Add the following feats to the Divine Champion bonus feats list: Weapon Specialization, Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization.


Bit more in-depth

The feats I am speaking of are the ones marked orange below.
Feat
In DC Bonus Feat List?
Requirement
Weapon SpecializationNoFighter 1, BAB+4, Weapon Focus
Greater Weapon FocusNoFighter 8, Weapon Focus
Greater Weapon SpecializationNoFighter 12, Greater Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization
Weapon MasteryYesFighter 12


Epic Weapon FocusYesCharacter 21, Greater Weapon Focus
Epic Weapon SpecializationYesCharacter 21, Greater Weapon Specialization, Epic Weapon Focus

Looking at the list, all four feats above the dividing line have Fighter X in their requirements. However, Weapon Mastery can be picked as a DC bonus feat, whereas the other three cannot. Additionally both epic feats are in the list of DC Bonus Feats, despite their prerequisites not being there.

And here's where it gets really strange. Anointed Knight have all of the above feats in its list of bonus feat, despite not even have Weapon Focus as a requirement! :?


I am not suggesting for AK to have the three feats (marked orange) removed from its list of bonus feats. Rather I am suggesting that Divine Champion also have them.

It already gets all of these.

It was missing it for a few weapons and shields, but those should be fixed next update.

Ah. I must have picked one of those missing weapons then previously. Whoops.

Thanks for clarifying!

Handaxe, I think. Though I could be wrong. It's a while ago that I saw it. Steve's post just reminded me of it.

Handaxe wasn't one of the missing weapons, so I'm not sure why it wasn't showing up for you. The 2da includes it. I'll test later.

Thanks.

So what you are saying is as of now fighter levels stacks? So 6 fighter + 6 divine champion is 12 fighters levels?

Not quite. That would be too good.

Rather Divine Champion bonus feats (levels 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) can now be used to pick all Fighter feats, as long as the prerequisites for those have been met. You still need Fighter 12 for e.g. Greater Weapon Specialization.
