Only affects on school of magic, making it very situational. Slippery Mind (Ex): Rerolls are great, but this Combine this with ambushįeats and you can put out quite a bit of ability damage. Nice at any level, especially against weaker creatures. Weakening Critical (Ex): Strength damage is Take Leap Attack, but generally not useful. Save this for save or suck effects.Īcrobatic Skill Mastery (Ex): Nice if you Lucky (Ex): Rerolls are great at any level,īut a Cleric can do this at first level.
