Devastating Critical

Post by Beneidalus » Tue Dec 19, 2017 6:45 am

Disabled for players but not for NPC's, that wasn't fun, especially as a rogue who could never beat the DC.

Perhaps having it to where creatures cannot have this feat either?

Heh. Sounds like someone found Hammerhead Sharks. That is always an eye opening when they crit you!

It's intentional, for NPCs to have the feat you have to manually select it in the toolset, or it is auto-selected if you use the built in level up and it is in the feat list of the NPC's package. NPCs don't level up like PC's do, so "disabling" it, is more equating to "Don't pick it".

I thought that was removed with the old Zhentarim cave mobs. With how raising the dead is these days (which is awesome, dont get me wrong), I'd stay away from anywhere with mobs who do that on principle. Luckily its very few.

Actally there are many mobs with devast.

It clearly encourages you to bring party, not going alone, in case you get killed.

Sharks don't even have it anymore. I know of one mob who has it and its AB/DC is kind of a let down.
