Making a fully-advanced Redcap, and need to figure out what feats to give him. The last time I did this, I gave them proficiency with the Long Axe (exotic weapon that has reach if you Power Attack for at least 3) and Combat Reflexes. It was fun, especially since Redcaps gain +1 Str, Dex, and Con for each HD above 4th.
This time I was wanting to go with either Karmic Strike or Robilar's Gambit, but he cannot qualify for either of those (not enough BAB for Robilar's; not intelligent enough for Combat Expertise to qualify for Karmic). I know I could cheat and boost his Intelligence, but that just feels dirty. Or should a Redcap get a level-bump to any stat every 4 HD just like everyone else, in addition to his awesome racial advancement? (Note, the sample advanced specimen does NOT show he gained a +1 stat boost every 4 HD.)
