Stronger alternative?

The Net Book of Feats community authors recommend this feat as a +4 bonus instead: http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Improved_Aid_Another_%283.5e_Feat%29 -- Do we want to adopt that one?

I want to vote in favor of this. -Slitherrr
I'm sure MA will vote in favor of it, too.
It makes perfect sense. Attack ability increases as levels go up, but Aid Another doesn't. Giving up a feat slot for an extra +1 that you still have to give up an attack for is just silly. -Slitherrr
For the record, I am, of course, in favor of it. I was going to take it at +3. --Msallen
That certainly doesn't make the think it's under powered >:)
Found this feat skimming a Dragon magazine today which had it at +4, so I'm changing it. -gm
All Hail DragonMag! -slith

I do SOME things for flavor, and that was one. It might not have won out against save boosters, but since I do a huge amount of aiding it was on my list. A feat that only allows you to boost someone an extra +1 when you give up your own action is pretty weak. --74.68.100.149

More like Matt is running out of skill-based feats to take with his Prof bonus slots. -Slitherrr
I pulled a Jones, but I could have sworn I looked for the new revision text that gets thrown up. Crazy. -Slitherrr
Also note that as levels go up, giving up that action means giving up more than one attack, unless you ALSO get the prof special ability to turn all attacks in a full-attack into Aid Another actions. -Slitherrr
