Talk:Tunnel Vision (3.5e Trait)

Balance

I think we need to change three things about this trait. First, the trait should only apply while there is more than one opponent. Second, the choice should not change until that enemy falls or flees. Third, the benefit should only be a +1 bonus attack rolls. — saint23thomas – 20:38, 24 July 2014 (MDT)

How about "You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against an enemy when there are no other creatures adjacent to that enemy, and you are not in a square threatened by another enemy; otherwise you suffer a -2 penalty to attack rolls. You do not gain the bonus if there is only one enemy you can see." Marasmusine (talk) 01:48, 25 July 2014 (MDT)

I don't think that retains enough of the flavor. Maybe something like "At the beginning of combat, if there is more than one enemy, you choose a single enemy. Until the end of combat, you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls against that enemy. At all times, you take a -2 penalty to all other attack rolls. — saint23thomas – 20:05, 27 July 2014 (MDT)

I'm not keen on the wording "until the end of combat", which isn't mechanically defined in 3.5e (it's not like 4e's "Take a short rest" to demark encounters). With this, does the character still change their target if their first falls or flees? Marasmusine (talk) 01:50, 28 July 2014 (MDT)

It looks like the thing I'm describing is already at Focused Fighting (3.5e Trait). Marasmusine (talk) 02:11, 28 July 2014 (MDT)
