[QUOTE="chilibean, post: 160154, member: 2220"] The idea is cool. However, I have 1 major problem with it. Who in the heck is going to spend one of their precious feats on something like this? No player character would ever get them. And if you made NPCs with them, then they would simply be underpowered. I suggest that you accomplish the same exact thing on a case by case basis in play by researching a new spell. If you want a fireball that's 2nd level, then create a new fireball spell that's 2nd level. Make it a 1d4 per level max of 5d4 and a blast radius of only 10 feet. Simple. No feats required. No munchkinism. Every spell gets researched, paid for by the player, carried around in a spell book, etc... The only problem with this is that it works great for wizards but sorcerers get left out in the cold. However, they could still do it with the arcane preparation feat, so it isn't very much of a drawback. [/QUOTE]
