I like the idea, but... Auto-win for any duel?--Quey 02:08, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Duels are kind of a degenerate case in D&D anyway. Surgo 02:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Not to mention that the existence of this feat in a game would dictate that pretty much any living duelist has it. So then everything is returned to the status quo when two people with it duel. - TG Cid 02:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Except many duelist types (High-level, so we're talking martial adepts) are already strapped for feats, which just creates a feat tax on them, which is even worse overall for the game in my opinion. Also, any wizard-type in a VH-level game would take it if this became available to just demolish the opposition with little opening for reprisal. --Ghostwheel 04:19, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
