Title: Exalted Feats
Post by: Asinjin on March 09, 2014, 02:17:15 PM: A discussion of who can take them.

Is this a house rule or WOC rule? I'd adjudicate this on a case by case basis. For example I don't think Ajax or Solaris lose all their abilities in an antimagic field.

Post by: Asinjin on March 09, 2014, 08:03:57 PM: It is not a house rule, it is in the Exalted Deeds.

Post by: Asinjin on March 09, 2014, 08:11:19 PM: However, the Vow of Poverty lists each ability and whether it is supernatural or extraordinary in nature; so it is a special case.

Looking at the list, the following are listed under Vow of Poverty has supernatural in nature: AC Bonus, Exalted Strike, Deflection, Damage Reduction, and True Seeing.

The following are Extraordinary: Freedom of Movement, Regeneration, Greater Sustenance, Energy Resistance, Mind Shielding, Natural Armor, Ability Enhancement, Endure Elements, Sustenance, Resistance.

Post by: Asinjin on March 09, 2014, 09:16:44 PM: I think that is true, although I can't think of an instance where you would be partially in the field.
