K1: Edit Feat properties

Recommended Posts

Look at the baseline feats for special attacks:

Critical Strike doubles critical threat range but lowers Defense by 5

Flurry gives you another attack at the cost of -4 Defense and Attack

Power Attack gives you +5 damage at -3 to hit.
These all seem fairly shitty, but also in-line with each other. Critical might be a bit harsh, especially considering that early-game you're not going to see high threat ranges like mid/lategame, but it's a stepping stone feat anyway.

Now look at the Master-level feats for special attacks:

Master Critical Strike quadruples your threat range, but lowers Defense by 5

Master Flurry gives you an extra attack at -1 Def/Atk, practically free

Master Power Attack gives you +10 Damage at -3 to hit

 

Among these, Flurry/Rapid Shot is easily the most powerful, equating to a full-damage extra attack for a negligable penalty - that's another d12+str, at least. Behind it is Power Attack, whose +10 dmg is comparable to the average d12+str, before bonus damage mods. Critical Strike is terrible; Even on a Crit-focused build where you'd crit on 11-20, that's still not enough to offset the massive -5 penalty to defense, especially in comparison to Power Attack's consistent -3 and Flurry's step from -4 to -1.

My question is this - What file do I mod to change Improved Critical Strike and Master Critical Strike's defense penalty?

As far as I know, you'd have to mod compiled source code since the combat feat behaviors aren't defined in a file.

I guess this explains why nobody's tweaked the combat feats and the Dueling/TWF disparity. Welp :v
