Great Char, Con, Dex, Int, Str or Wis

You have realized that all the training in the world cannot exceed one thing: your natural limits. As impossible as it seems you must better yourself before you can continue to better your skills. You have selected what is the most important to you and have turned you mind and body to breaking through your own borders for enlightenment.

Player Note: The benefit of increasing your natural attributes cannot be underestimated but if this is the best use of feat must also be considered as feats are precious, few and far apart.

Whirlwind Attack

Lesser opponents think that numbers will give them some sort of advantage when facing your prowess. Little do they know that by massing around you all they are doing is placing themselves in a more convenient location to strike. You have learned how to move from one opponent to the next without breaking stride to watch their horrified faces.

Type of Feat: General
