There are some rather ridiculous cases still, like a martial team running Paired Opportunist, Outflank, and Sieze the Moment with Rapiers, where every person flanking the target gets two attacks of opportunity every time that someone crits on a 15-20 threat range, and you start bouncing attacks across the target. Coincidentally, Teamwork feats were banned by that GM. | |
| Jun 21, 2022 at 18:24 | comment | added | KRyan | Gah, the teamwork feats are just so aggressively mediocre. Improved Outflank is a weaker version of 3.5e’s island of blades, while costing way more (only one person needs island of blades, and it is one class feature among many for a 1st-level swordsage). Incomprehensible why they thought such pricey options required so many limitations. Still, +1 for relevant, albeit overpriced, options. | |
