Changes: Dirty fighting

Revision as of 20:43, 5 May 2010

Type of feat: general (available every three level-ups)
Prerequisite: base attack bonus +2

Specifics: The character knows brutal and effective fighting tactics. By sacrificing all other attacks during the round, the character can elect to perform a dirty fighting move that will deal an extra 1d4 points of damage. This mode cannot be used with power attack.

Use: combat mode

Notes

Added in the expansion packs.
Dirty fighting can be useful at low levels, but it rapidly loses its net advantage as the character gains more attacks per round. Most players think this feat is nearly useless and should be avoided.
The attacks of whirlwind attack and bonus attacks (e.g. attack of opportunity, haste, divine power) are never forfeited, and all hits deal the dirty fighting bonus.
On a critical hit the bonus is multiplied after the roll (e.g. 2 * (1d4) instead of 2d4).
Cannot be used with a ranged weapon.
