Skill Focus (Hide in Shadows)
Skill Focus (Move Silently)
Stealthy
Epic Skill Focus (Hide in Shadows)
Epic Skill Focus (Move silently)

Is my cocktail of fave feats!

Epic Dodge with Concealment is also a potent mix.

I never realised Blind Fighting helps with those annoying Concealed NPC's.
So if I hit but miss with their 50% Concealment do I get another roll, and if that hits I get through their Concealment? Does this also work with those 100% concealed critters?

(sorry to go off on a tangent with this )
:wink:

Expertise
Improved Expertise

My current PC doesn't have them, but another did. An extra +10 AC comes in very handy.

You get another roll on the concealment % against any miss caused by concealment, meaning that 50% concealment effectively only makes you miss 25% of the time.
20% concealment will only make you miss 4% of the time.

Not a great deal of use against 100% concealment though. A reroll doesn't help if you have 100% chance of failing both rolls. :lol:

Animal Empathy is my favorite! :D I still working on it in RL.
Then you must reconcile yourself to the fact that something is always hurt by any change. If you do this, you will not be hurt yourself.

Zen Archery

If your WIS is significantly higher than your DEX, Zen Archery is great: Allows you to use your WIS bonus in ranged attacks in place of DEX.

Note that this works with any ranged weapon, not just bows.

Nope. DMs are immune, but I'm sure someone will be happy to show you how it works in game. :CoEMF:

Zen archery is good. But my absolute favorite feat of all time is one that isn't selectable or even on NWN (which is a good thing). But the best feat of all time in my own opinion is one called Assassin Strike, once you have it all you have to do is hit someone with a sneak attack and they're gone, no save nothing....dead. It's great for PnP games and Darkfire probably hates me for knowing about it.


It's a takes a lot of stuff to get it though.
