Precision feat change noticed

[Cetus]

Anybody else notice that the Precision feat also allows you to bypass 25% fortificaion when activated now? Still not worth the damage loss in my opinion, but it looks new to me.

for a str rogue sure , for a gimpy finesse rogue it may be worth it sometimes. I haven't looked at the numbers but for a finesse rapier assassin rogue to get 25% more of their 17d6 ,if that doesn't get halved, then I could see it.

giving up 1d6 base plus some measly str(on a finesse) /2 for (3.5* 17) *.25 = 14.875 seems like a fair trade to me.

AH, its just Precision- can take it on any melee as long as you got a 13 base dex, not restricted to rogues.

yes, that is my point.
only a gimpy finesse rogue would even consider the feat.

plus they get 10 percetn bypass for the rogue feat opportunist so good for non sneak attackable mobs on wimpy finess builds 35 percent chance to sneak attack skeletons maruts etc also stacking with thier wrack construct -30 to fort for constructs could end up with a lot of sneak dmg on them


and fyi ur sneak dmg is halved as well which is pooty

When the feat was changed a few updates back, I put it on my Dex based rogue. As others have said, it's not worth the feat slot. If the feat didn't cut Sneak Attack damage in half, it would be worth taking though, in my opinion. However, since the feat utterly destroys both the base damage and sneak attack damage to rogues, it's a worthless feat.
