Talk:Expert Tactician

Proposed description

Expert Tactician

Type of Feat: General

Prerequisite: Dex 13+, Attack bonus of +2 or higher.

Specifics: When your opponent provokes an attack of opportunity, you and all your allies gain a +2 circumstance bonus on attack and damage rolls on the following attacks against that creature for the next few seconds.

Use: Automatic.

Note: will not stack with other Expert Tacticians and although the damage is not shown in the combat log it is added to the final damage. Also the bonuses may not last for the remainder of the round and that a successful hit is not necessary with the attack of opportunity for the bonuses to apply, only the event.

D&D Note

The NWN2 version is very different from 3.5e

NWN2 Tip

Due to issues with limited number of attacks of opportunity and the brief period of circumstance. The Feat is more an option for just one frontline companion.

Gameplay

Attacks of Opportunity have a very close threat zone and many opportunities are missed due to being just outside the zone. This requires characters to be in close against potential targets and then the circumstance only lasts while the Attack of Opportunity overhead text is visible (similar to Feint).Ragimund (talk) 09:35, November 15, 2018 (UTC)

The feat was considered broken and although does not work completely as expected (better and worse), it can be effective under circumstance. Although I suggest better for a companion to take, due to so few events. Now if it lasted longer and AoO had a larger threat area, it would be very effective. Ragimund (talk)
