Thread necro!
I had forgotten about this thread, how did things work out, OP?
Re-reading the thread, I was inspired to create a new feat, if anyone would like to swipe it for their games or playtest it.
Agile Warrior [Combat; Metagame]
You courageously spurn the basic design goals of the game system your character is thrust upon, the will to create an interesting dexterity-based combatant overcoming piles of horrific design decisions intended to make melee combat static and boring.
Prerequisites: Acrobatics 3 ranks, Dexterity 15, lacking certain classes/feats (see Special)
BenefitsSpecial: In order to take this feat, you must have no levels in Tier 1 or Tier 2 classes, nor any other class that grants nine levels of spellcasting (such as Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, and Cleric), nor acquire the Step Up feat or any feat that requires it.. If you take a level in any of these classes or gain such feats, you immediately lose all benefits of this feat.
Thoughts?
