Title: New Feat
Post by: Asinjin on December 17, 2017, 04:09:09 PM

I had a thought for an Epic feat that would cause saves by others caused by the epic level character to not automatically succeed on a 20.

So Luigi casts against Saladien, who can only make the save on a 20 because the DC is 32 and his save is only +10.  If Luigi has this new feat, than the 20 by Saladien does not auto succeed.

This could also apply to other saves caused by effects other than spells.

Thoughts?

A neat idea. It would only be beneficial 5% of the time when facing an opponent with a low save bonus. I think that seems kind of limited in use to spend an epic feat slot on. Maybe if we added a secondary benefit?

How about adding that anyone who is immune to said save is forced to make a save anyway?  Maybe with a +4 bonus or something along those lines. 

Using the previous example, Luigi casts against Saladien who is immune to fear.  He now must make the fear save with a +4 competence bonus and can't auto succeed with a natural 20.
