[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 2324160, member: 192"] I'd personally remove the underlined sentence. It adds a layer of complexity to a feat that is in my opinion not needed, and detracts from the feat. Also, I'd consider making the prerequisite into another feat, instead of BAB. And here, I have to admit, comes the problem I have with the feat - I have trouble envisioning what happens here. Obviously, you're not cutting a door into that enemy of yours. Are you stabbing, and using the momentum for a swift position swap? Using your weapon as a lever to vault over your enemy? Either way, it seems to be a very mobile feat, so I'd make the prerequisites Dex 13 and Dodge. Maybe even Mobility. And, somewhat obvious, this should be a Fighter bonus feat. See my points on Slice Through. I feel this should be somewhat rewritten, if used at all. There are a number of problems with the feat: [list=1] [*]Most reach weapons cannot be used against adjacent enemies. This feat would either allow the wielder to ignore that restriction, or allow the wielder to exceed the reach of the weapon. [*]Wielders of polearms that do not provide reach would be allowed to exceed the reach of the weapon. [*]The feat allows hitting multiple enemies with one attack roll, similar to whirlwind attack - without the multitude of prerequisites, and without the language to prevent extra attacks (such as cleave). And it is not [i]quite [/i]as narrow as whirlwind attack. [/list] These points combined lead me against this feat, and its improved version. See above. For the bardic feats in general, most are lacking a range where one is needed. Also, the general description notes that activating the feats is usually a standard action, while many of the feats refer to a five round long performance as though it was a general rule. Fermata should propably use a Will save. The costs in bardic music uses should seriously be examined. They seem off in a few cases. [/QUOTE]
