Your thoughts on Precocious Apprentice

[Angel Tarragon]

What do you think of the feat Precocious Apprentice?

 

[Moab2]

I like it a lot. But then, 2nd-level spells are usually my favorites. It's a little stronger than most feats, but the one time I used it was as a regional feat in a Forgotten Realms campaign. It doesn't seem any stronger than most of those.

On a side note, what do you think is the best choice for the 2nd-level spell? I took Melf's Acid Arrow, but I think there could have been a better choice.

Actually, I think I like False Life the best out of all 2nd Level [PHB] Spells.

Glitterdust is one of my favorites, but there are some other nice ones.

Sorry but... what does the feat do?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

It allows a first level wizard access to a second level spell slot. The prerequisite is that you have to be first level. The character then loses the benefit of the feat when they are able to cast second level spells through level advancement.

Does the feat mention anything about its interaction with the Mystic theurge prestige class? What's the source of Precicious Apprentice? Complete Arcane?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

I don't think it is in Complete Arcane. I just looked and couldn't find it, though it may be elsewhere in the book. I know it is a sidebar entry at he bottom of one of the supplemental books.

Man and I thought Sudden metamagics fail the NPC test pretty bad.

That will suck having to fight low level wizards with that feat.

The first level 'fair fight' puts a 4d6 scorching ray into a PC's face.

whats balanced for a pc is not alwayse balanced for a npc. why do dms feel that if a player does x, then that means all npc's must do x as well, and should also have to be balanced? Its balanced.
