Talk:Elk Rider

Bullshit up here cleared out. History if interested. -Slitherrr 17:02, 10 May 2010 (EDT)

Any reference on Improved Weapon Specialization, or is Greater Weapon Specialization what is meant? Also, if prereqs need to be met, then those bonus feats are going to be limited to people with at least four/twelve Fighter levels, which is quite a lot of investment in Fighter for a class that's probably more of a Ranger thing. Alternatively, you could add a caveat that Ranger/Elk-Rider levels count as fighter levels for the purposes of those two feats with bows only, which seems pretty reasonable. -Slitherrr

Ah, good point! I forgot that there was a fighter requirement. :( Your solution is a good one. Or, another solution, a simple rewording. "All feat prerequisites must be met," meaning you'd have to have weapon focus before picking up weapon spec. or you have to have Mounted Combat before Ride By Attack, which was really my intent with that caveat. -gm

The latter solution has more coupling to worry about, and it's also probably prudent to keep Greater Weapon Specialization out of the hands of potentially very low-level characters, so I'm leaning toward the former. I'll go ahead and put it on the page. -Slitherrr

Alright - Let's do this! Step one : Find good Deer/Elk stats. http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-legacy-discussion/165569-stats-deer.html

I should have at least one of those references, so I'll take a look when I get home and remember. -Slitherrr

So I should have taken that rank of ride I was considering eh.. hrm. Could be an interesting thing. Though someone is bound to recognize that connection and get my elf but captured. :-P

There's nobody around to train you (that we know of), but that may just mean you'd be the origin of a rebirth of the discipline. If that's the case, you'll be so important that you're almost *guaranteed* to be captured. -Slitherrr

But don't worry, because we got your back, girl. -Slitherrr
