The simplest and probably most solid way to achieve this is Fighter 5/Brawler 1, but there are other ways to finagle it if your build demands. a Brawler dip, the Barroom Brawler feat in a pinch) and the ability to take the () (but *don't* actually take it). All you need is a source of martial flexibility (e.g. It should also be stronger than Improved Precise Shot.For the poor vanilla Fighter, I'm a huge fan of the Iron Caster build, which comes online at around level 5 or 6. Having invested 4 Feats (Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot (which also required Point-Blank Shot), Improved Precise Shot), high (19) Dex and be (at least) level 11 (or level 15 for a 3/4BAB) should be stronger than a trait gained at level 1. The Improved Precise Shot feat is stronger than the trait (as it ignores all cover and concealment short of total cover and total concealment). It allows you to ignore a -4 penalty with ranged attacks in the same situation where the trait removes a +4 bonus to enemies AC. If you use a longbow, you will most likely be positioned behind your friends, who then will be providing soft cover for the enemies. Take a look at the most probable positioning in combat. Other people are by far the most common soft cover.ĮDIT: If you doubt the trait's usability: Walls, tower shields and most corners don't provide soft cover anyway. I have nothing against playing an Erastil worshiper, not really a restriction.īeing restricted to the very best ranged weapon isn't a problem. I don't see this being even as remotely as powerful as a feat, with this many restrictions. Or even if two or more creatures are providing cover. Doesn't work against low walls, tower shields, corners, etc. Only if he has another creature providing soft cover. So, only longbows and Daikyu (eastern version of longbow) are allowed. And probably does not count for composite longbows, as they are different weapons that only count as the same regarding proficiency, but this will see table variance. No crossbows, rays, throwing weapons, fireguns. When you are using a longbow, if only a single creature is providing soft cover to your target, your target does not receive the +4 bonus to AC. It's kind of awesome, and far and above the two Pathfinder traits that are its closest equivalent.

From my understanding you could do much worse with full out 3.5 material where a bunch of +0 level metamagic effects existed as somebody else noted it was errata'd that the total spell level can't be lower than the original level, but add in, say, two or three of those +0 metamagics to the above and it goes from an 8th level spell to a 5th or 6th. Oh, and then you get the +2 caster level on top of that. Intensified Empowered Maximized Dazing Fireball of the element of your choice? 8th level spell, normally 13th. Isn't Arcane Thesis just Magical Lineage+Spell Specialization? Ok, cheaper, but with Wayang Spellhunter, the combo you get is above and beyond arcane thesis.Īrcane Thesis reduces the added level of each metamagic effect by one. because their comparison, Arcane Thesis, is sitting over in 3.5, being far more awesome, and probably intentionally not getting ported to Pathfinder. For example, Magical Lineage and Wayang Spellhunter are awesome, and have no direct comparison. However, it is worth noting that most of these are 'better' than feats because there is no comparable feat. No supertraits discussion is complete without Finding Haleen, is it? Not just better than a feat, better than two feats (as it's basically Fast Learner + Toughness). Unless you take Additional Traits at level one. It's part of the challenge of building a character. Though, once in awhile I'm sure a 'worthless' trait, feat, class, race, etc could be usable with the right build. Some things are better than others all the time, other things are amazing in the right situations, and the rest is page filler.

Pathfinder is not a perfectly balanced game. I can now make my battle shaman without being an elf. It's not on the d20pfsrd, but it can be found under archives of nethys.

The prof bow trait is called Hunter's Eye. The prof bow andoran trait is simply silly. I agree some campaign traits are crazy because they are intended for that game only and usually are related to an NPC. I would define average feats as the saving throw feats, Dodge, perhaps Cleave, and Spell Focus for someone who isn't super-specializing (not usually great for Clerics for instance). The Andoran trait that gives bow proficiency and ignore the first range increment qualifies, as does Eastern Mysteries I'd say, just due to stackability. There are definitely quite a few traits that are better than average feats. Finding Haleen is a 3.5 Campaign Trait, not really comparable to the rest.
