[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5475850, member: 19675"] And Focused Specialist suddenly gets a big boost as well. A word of caution. Going this route has a hidden pitfall. Currently, some schools only have 1 or 2 spells per level as it is. When spread out over a broader range, some won't have ANY spells of a particular level...which is why one thing I mentioned in the other thread is lesser and greater versions of spells. One thing I was thinking about specialists is to possibly drop the bonus spells per level and give them a boost to the power of spells within their specialty. To me, it always seemed a tiny bit nonsensical in terms of internal systemic logic that specialists could cast extra spells per day. What they [I]really [/I]should be is better within their specialty, so their spells should do more damage, or be harder to save against or whatever. Then with Focused Specialist, you could go either way: +1 spell/level or a further boost in spell potency; player's choice. Other possibilities: [LIST=1] [*]Being able to ignore the first LA adjustment of a metamagic feat for spells within their specialization. [*]A chance to retain a specialized spell after casting once per day/3 caster levels; DC partly based on spell level [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
