I'm not sure it's entirely based on flavor that it seems directed towards sorcerers--one of the prerequisites is the ability to cast 2nd-level arcane spells without preparation, and one of the prerequisite feats also demands that you be a spontaneous arcane caster. It also allows you to...

Heroes of Horror presented the Fiend-Blooded prestige class, a 10-level arcane casting class that seems to be aimed specifically at sorcerers. However, as one of its prerequisites is 8 ranks in Knowledge (the planes), it would appear that a single-classed sorcerer can't enter this prestige...

Here I am again in my endless quest for interesting grafts... :) Anyway, since folks here were so helpful last time, I was wondering if someone would be willing to give me a summary of draconic grafts. Also, which book(s) do they appear in? Thanks!

Thank you, everyone, for all your help! I went ahead and downloaded the pdf, so I can just print out the rules on grafts. I don't mind reading the rest of it on-screen. :) Again, thanks for all the suggestions!

So, I recently became interested in the concept of grafts (I started a couple of threads on the subject in the Rules forum a little while ago). From what I heard, the Fiend Folio was a good primary source for different types of grafts, so I thought I would try to get ahold of it...

I only have a few to offer, since I haven't had a chance to play nearly enough (and some of these are simply character concepts that haven't been played yet): - Lily Bracken, female halfling sorcerer/rogue aiming for arcane trickster - Alysse Azadi, female half-elf bard/druid/rogue aiming for...

Ah, interesting. So either way, you get to cast one domain spell per level per day. In that case: Arcane Disciple: You know the normal number of spells for your level; it costs a feat, and depends on a stat other than your primary caster stat. Domain Access: You know one fewer spell per...

Aside from the once per day usage (which seems to be a hard limit that can't be increased though high stats), I would be inclined to treat them as such. Otherwise, it seems unfairly restrictive. That section in the book seems rather poorly-edited. The wording is peculiar, and obviously more...

In which case, Arcane Disciple and Domain Access (for sorcerers) sound fairly balanced with one another in terms of costs and benefits. Arcane Disciple: Benefits: Add domain spells to your class spell list, which you can presumably cast as often as you could cast any other spell you know...

Well, that's what I meant: if I need to pump Wisdom (as well as Charisma, naturally, for a sorcerer) to gain the most benefit from this alternative class feature, I might as well take Arcane Disciple instead. The description of the Domain Access alternative class feature actually says nothing...

I don't remember if Arcane Disciple requires that you give up one spell known per level, though; does it?

So the sorcerer would eventually need a 19 Wisdom in order to cast his highest-level domain spell? I'm not sure I like that; he might as well take the Arcane Disciple feat then, rather than this alternative class feature. Anyone remember if the section on gaining additional domains in...

That's pretty much how I interpreted it, but I think it could potentially be a pretty hard hit for the sorcerer who takes it. I also wonder--is the domain spell considered a divine or arcane spell? Does it count as "being able to cast 3rd-level spells" for purposes of PrC prerequisites? Can...

Well, that's one of the things I'm trying to figure out. Primarily because, as you say, it's kind of lame. But also because the other "give up spells known" alternative class feature I'm familiar with (OK, that's only Stalwart Sorcerer from Complete Mage) specifies that they still know a...

I'm hoping someone can help me puzzle out the wording in this alternative class feature for sorcerers. For those who haven't read Complete Champion yet, the relevant text follows: You do not learn a new 1st-level sorcerer spell and a new 2nd-level sorcerer spell at 5th level. From now on, you...

I believe the Alienist (Complete Arcane) and Fleshwarper (Lords of Madness) both specify that they continue a familiar's advancement (as well as adding new familiar abilities on top of that). ETA: Also, the Arcane Hierophant (Races of the Wild) kind of qualifies, by adding advancing familiar...

Actually, now that I reread the rules for reserve feats in Complete Mage, I think the matter is resolved. Relevant text from Complete Mage, p. 37: 1. In general, clerics fall into the first category, spellcasters who prepare spells each day. Thus, they need to have prepared a healing spell...

And that's why I was hoping they'd addressed it in the book! :) Anyone could have seen this argument coming from a mile away.

Are there any grafts that could work?

The text doesn't happen to mention whether being able to spontaneously convert prepared spells to cure spells counts as having the spell available to cast, does it? I was hoping this particular argument could be averted before it starts.
