Remember there's no feat retraining, so that first feat will be with you more or less forever.

Mathematically, Tactician is going to be ahead at least until level 3, and probably all the way up until 6th. It's definitely a feat that's best at 1st level and one that diminishes the longer a campaign goes on. If you're looking for straight damage, you do get a slightly better return on the elemental feat (3.5 vs 3), although that's not multiplied on crits.

The other option is Status Assaults (Torturer feat), which would give you the ability to entangle, dazzle, or intimidate foes more or less at will. None of those are great save or sucks, but they're all useful, and two of them are swift actions.

On that note, I was debating creating a series of 3 level long classes that matched the 8 or so feats like Tactician. Thoughts?
I think it'd be a good idea, I like short classes anyways.

Race is easy.  I need that extra Ritual feat (and I won't go human just to playtest your races).  :P

Human is probably worse than Hastro anyway, at least for Ritualists. It's a free feat and skill vs a free feat and +2 Cha (the other benefits being fairly situational).

Yep.  I've also got a feat planned, and I'm sure you know what it is.  :P

I've got three more than I want, two more that I want right now and one that can wait until later.

Given you straight up designed and submitted your 1st level feat, yes, I think I can guess.  :lmao

I'm actually unsure if I want to spend a feat on the one I designed, but I'm definitely taking its prerequisite.

I just don't have enough feat slots!

Ritualist needs a bonus Ritual feat at first level.   :lmao

I have younger siblings. I am very resistant to whining.

So, unless there are objections, later today I will stick up the first IC post. It's mostly dialogue to start with.

Also, how have you lot come together? Adventuring party, friends, homosexual love orgy?

That's not a list of options, that's the pre-adventure plotline.

Option 3 could be fun/awkward if it was induced via Mind Control somehow (maybe my character using his Charm spell...).  ;)

Okay, I just convinced myself that my character's alignment is Neutral Evil.

I'm fine with playing in a mixed alignment party, I promise not to be disruptive or try to sacrifice you guys or anything.   :smirk

Well, you can sacrifice Phae if you want. I'm nominating him as the party whipping boy.
