[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 5833331, member: 2804"] I love everything about this article. I really love the notion of playing a feat based caster that has several at-will combat and utility abilities that they upgrade via feat chain into more powerful versions. How cool would an at-will Tenser's disk be as alluded to in the article! :) Basically, it sounds like the 3e Warlock, a class I really liked a lot. My only concern is the rate of feat acquisition. For such a feat heavy game, I want a feat pretty much every level. :) In fact, I'm positively giddy over the thought of magic being broken out into feat based at-will/utility abilities, Vancian style dailies for the big boom/game changing spells, plus a ritual system for all the potential plot/world breaking spells like Legend Lore, Teleport, Gate, and so on. Obviously, each class will focus on each style differently. I could see the Warlock being mostly feat/ritual based, the Sorcerer being half feat, half Vancian with no Rituals, the Wizard being focused on Vancian and Rituals with some feat based magic. Then you could have a Psion which is half feat based with perhaps a point based variant of the Vancian style. I approve. :) [/QUOTE]
