D&D Sunday morning quiz: Feats!
Posted by D&D Trivia Crew on April 13, 2008

DNDSMQ 04-13-08

I have no clue how hard this quiz is. We all know a few feats very well but nobody - ok, almost no one - spends time reading the whole list of feats regularly. Maybe you’ll be stumped. Maybe you need to get a life. The quiz will tell you!

All questions and answers from the d20 SRD.

NOTE: Some e-mail clients and RSS readers aren’t able to submit your quiz answers to the website. If you’re reading this from an e-mail subscription or a feed reader you should head to Dungeon Mastering to take the quiz.

This week’s quiz - Feats!

I’m a multi-classed human, 7th level fighter and 12th level wizard. How many feats do I have?

Which one of these feats is a metamagic feat?

Still Spell
Eschew Materials
Brew Potion
Combat Casting

Which one of these feats is a prerequisite of Rapid Shot?

Point Blank Shot
Rapid Reload
Many Shot
Lightning Reflexes

What does the Empower Spell feat do?

It doubles the damage of a spell .
It increases the damage of a spell by 50% .
It increases the damage of a spell by 25%.
It allows summoned creatures to take decisions and sign documents on spellcaster’s behalf.

An undead-phobic 6th level cleric with a CHA score of 16 takes the Extra Turning feat 3 times. How many times can the cleric turn undead everyday?

How frustrating is it to face a spiked-chain-wielding half-ogre with the Spring Attack and Combat Reflexes feats? (Note: I can’t take credit for this one. Check out the answers after you take the quiz)

Very frustrating.
I would throw dice at the DM.
I would leave that gaming group if it happened to me, partly because
my character would die.
Sweet! That’s going to be my next character!

BONUS QUESTION #1 - Name the feat. "Each time you take this feat, choose a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier that you already know. From that point on, you can prepare these spells without referring to a spellbook." (not case-sensitive)

BONUS QUESTION #2 - Name the feat. " When running, you move five times your normal speed. [...]" (not case-sensitive)

IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION - What’s the required caster level of each item creation feat?

Level
Brew Potion
Level
Craft Magic Arms And Armor
Level
Craft Rod
Level
Craft Staff
Level
Craft Wand
Level
Craft Wondrous Item
Level
Forge Ring
Level
Scribe Scroll

How great is Dungeon Mastering?

It’s just great.
It’s awesome.
It’s uber-awesome.
It’s red-dragon-awesome.

The feat breakdown on the Ftr7/Wiz12 is missing at least one feat: Scribe Scroll.

This assumes you don’t count the various weapon and armor proficiency feats that are pseudo-given with taking classes. (7 feats for Ftr profs! 3x armor, 2x weapon, 2x shield)

The correct answer is either 15 or 22. :)

Your score before profiling: 72 / 100
Your psychological profiling modifier: 8
YOUR SCORE: 80%

Astounding! You passed! Do you even roleplay or you just fight monsters in your game?

We’re not counting class features, just the feats and bonus feats that one gets to choose…
Graham on April 13th, 2008 at 3:48 am:
95%, before the random modifier. I missed the Wizard bonus feats.

I’m somewhat disappointed that I only got 95. I never play Wizards, though.

EDIT: Oh, and the Empower Spell question is only kinda right. It actually enhances the variable numeric effects of a spell by 50%. This is different than your answer in two ways.

- If something, like Inflict Moderate, deals 2d8 +1 pre CL, only the 2d8 is empowered. Similarly, the Harm spell (10 per CL) has no effect when empowered, as 10 per CL isn’t a variable numeric effect (ie. doesn’t include a die roll)

- If you have a spell that lasts for 2d4 rounds, that 2d4 rounds is increased by 50%, despite not being damage, because it’s a variable numeric effect.

I keep getting huge negative psychological profiling scores … are they really totally random? Or based of something of other? Because I’m getting kind of tired of getting 2/3s of the answers right, but a final score in the 10s - 20s =S

@Chris:
Well, they’re random. It’ll swing your way someday.

@Jeff & Graham:
Gawd I hate being wrong. But you guys are right.
PeacefulTyrant on April 13th, 2008 at 9:56 am:
Looking up the answers as I went along on the quiz I realized that last night’s session had a major flaw in the combat… Oops. But, you learn something every day.

My players will hate I realized my mistake.

Thanks Yax,

Peaceful

Almost perfect! Maybe it’s time to get a life?

I’m simultaneously proud and embarrassed- I got everything except the level requirement for Craft Rod, I think.

I also missed the Wizard bonus feats (I don’t play them).

;) Also, shouldn’t Jeff and Graham get the “Maybe it’s time to get a life?” line, they did point out what was wrong with two of the questions after all. ;)
Yax on April 13th, 2008 at 3:32 pm:
@Kili: Extremely good point.

I got everything easily until the Item Creation Feats. Stupid rods, wondrous items, and magic arms & armor!

@andrew: Not all the answers are worth the same amount of points, even when all the answers are good.
Cyberian on April 14th, 2008 at 8:30 am:
heheheh, loved the Order of the stick question :-D anyone knows if that combo really works? i mean, as a DM i can think of a thousand ways to deal with a player using it, but still i mean rules-wise.

Beating that combo is very easy. Sunder the chain. You win. You were looking for something more?
How about Earth to Mud, then Mud to Rock, then Rock to Lava.

And I noticed the off-by-one answer for the first question, too. Wow, do I need to get another hobby or what? That is, in addition to this one.

It seems I missed craft rod by 1 level, I put 8 instead og 9. Don’t ask me why.

I feel like I’m beyond geeky.

Wow! And here I was afraid my nerdness was getting rusty.
