  1. I don't think it's too powerful either. At least from a natural build standpoint. But when you take into account the amount of powerful uber items in the original KotOR games you can easily see why people would complain. Imagine having an 18 natural score for both strength and dex and then adding another combined + 14 from items. That would accumulate to quite the well-rounded player just as it is, let alone adding a feat that let you hit with both your str and dex modifiers... Remember that the benefits of a balanced character in D&D and D20 is just that. Balance. It's SUPPOSED to be your attack rolls that you are sacrificing. I do think that this type of thing would be GREAT for a prestige class. It's nice to fill out the jedi robe and still have some punch to your shot from a half-decent strength boni. But you should be concentrating on building this balance, same as you would a strength focussed character or dex focussed character.
  2. This is potentially a really good idea. It just needs to be worked out a little more. Some people like to play balanced str/dex fighters, and those of us who do get the short end of the stick on attack roll bonuses. That's a fact. But I have a beef with this appearing as just a feat that anybody can take during a level up- this idea for balance could be too easily exploited. Example. You start your game with a melee fighter with 14 str and 14 dex, then you go on to raise nothing but strength for the rest of the game. Along the way, you take this feat because you've noticed that it will provide you with an additional +2 to attack, essentially being a more powerful weapon focus. That's no good. If it were made so that this feat nullified itself if the character surpassed strength and dex balance in one attribute by any more than two points/one attribute score (i.e. strength 17, dex 14 would mean you no longer gain any bonuses from this feat) then I could see this as being a benefit offered maybe by a new prestige class that promoted a balanced str/dex melee fighter. But, even then, I still definately would not offer the feat as something just anybody could take during a level up.
