Re: Two Weapon Rend feat

I think it's AWESUM!!!

I GOTZ ME CHARAXTER KIN UZE THIS FEEATR BCUM COPLEETEY USNOTTPABLE!!!

*Cough*

Um. Actually I think it's an interesting idea. Overpowered? I think in the hands of a rogue is where it really comes into its own, unless you disallow use of sneak attack (strict reading of the rules seems to back this up).

TWO-WEAPON REND [EPIC] Prerequisites: Dex 15, base attack bonus +9, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-Weapon Fighting. Benefit: If the character hits an opponent with a weapon in each hand in the same round, he or she may automatically rend the opponent. This deals additional damage equal to the base damage of the smaller weapon plus 1 1/2 times the character's Strength modifier. Base weapon damage includes an enhancement bonus on damage, if any. The character can only rend once per round, regardless of how many successful attacks he or she makes


This feat appears in the Epic book, and is a bit pants for an Epic Feat as it isn't likely to get through any DR, but it occurs to me that having it as a non-epic feat makes much more sense as many non-epic creatures have a rend attack, so why shouldn't PCs? And, of course, it allows players to emulate Maximus in Gladiator. 

I'd suggest reducing the pre-requisites to Dex 13+, TWF and BAB +
6.

What do you think?

And what does this do to the single weapon vs two weapon fighting debate?
