Snake blood and luck of heroes feats

[Mikmu]

Well I didn't find this in the forum after a search ,so I hope my search was good and no thread about this exists
I played NVN and Icewind dale 2 and in those games and others I don't remember, the feats snake blood and luck of heroes and some others where availlible only at creation of character
Here in the description of the feats nothing is said about that but I am still afraid to start a character without knowing for sure I can choose them later and take for example dodge at first

90% sure they can be taken after the first level... Never taken either of those feats though...

You could search for a build that uses them, and see at which level they're taken to be 100% sure.

I'm not sure.

I can say, however, that considering all the other feats you could take *instead* of these two that you'd be better served not taking them ever. It'd be better for you to go to the appropriate Class sub-forum, pop up a build, and ask the forumites for a critique of what you're planning.

ok will do that will be better

The only feat that had a "first level only" clause was the warforged body feats, and even those have been removed.

But as others said, never take snakeblood. Luck of heroes can be usefull on certain builds with too many feats (pure fighters, fighter/monk combos, etc), but for the vast majority of characters it is a waste.

I personally never choose snake blood, if I ever need saves against poison, I bump up my CON or just get the poison resistance feat. Being a dwarf helps, too

Snake Blood is vital because they don't have the "Neutralize Poison" spell, or "Proof Against Poison" items in this game.

Oh wait, no... the opposite of that.

its nice to see new people can come to the forums and ask for advice and not get condescended too

Oh wait, no... the opposite of that.

Who said anything about new people? I'm talking about the feat itself.

Although while we're on the subject of feats, Skill Focus: Swim is another mustn't-have.
