[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 1793506, member: 11520"] I have been considering such an ability for my own game. I was thinking that the Wizard/Sorcerer in question should have to give up a first level spell slot to gain the power. A bit more expensive than even a feat. However, I was expecting the range and damage to scale with level to make it a career long benefit. The Character could give up higher level slots to gain greater power such as making the attacks ranged touch rather than simple force missiles. Also, they could give a slot for adding an energy type such as flaming missiles, or frost missiles. I may scale the base damage and range down to something akin to a dagger rather than crossbow and allow them to give up a cantrip slot. I would allow feats to work with this attack; although, I was planning on not requiring quick draw for multiple attacks, yet not allowing the various feats for extra shots. Instead they would need to take a mage specific feat for an extra shot or give up another slot--I'm not sure which. The attacks would draw attacks of opportunity. I hadn't considered spell resistance as yet. When I work out the details I'll post here. Scotley [/QUOTE]
