[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4271494, member: 40961"] The logic behind the dex prereq for astral fire probably went like this: 1. This is a feat for wizards. 2. Wizards who want this feat will be using Dexterity for their wands. 3. So dex 13 is a good prereq, since we want to reward secondary stats. 4. We need one more prereq to match the other magical damage feats. 5. Clerics will want this one too. 6. So lets make Cha the other prereq, and reward their secondary stats. 7. This makes sense, you need force of will to create your magical effects, then dexterity to aim it. It matches our general setup for secondary stats and magic. 8. And now both classes have to step a little outside their normal role to get it. A 13 isn't hard. 9. But if they don't want it that bad, its not like it will hurt them to skip it. And for the record, cleric feats vastly outnumber wizard feats. At least, they do if you count channel divinity. And they had to put those in there because there are cleric fans who will hunt down the designers and smother them in their sleep if deity choice doesn't have mechanical results. Clerics actually get more text in the feat section than any other class, I believe. [/QUOTE]
