[QUOTE="The Gryphon, post: 1928420, member: 17286"] The Precocious Apprentice feat doesn't follow the specific pattern you mention, as it doesn't allow you to choose where to direct all of the benefits. It gives a bonus spell slot at a set level (no choice, unlike the feat it copies which CAN be taken multiple times) which allows you to cast a spell you choose (a choice which by my reading of the feat is later lost) and a bonus to spellcraft (no choice). What this feat does do is copy the format and power of regional feats from the Forgotten Realms books. In those rules this type of feat can only be taken at 1st level (which it specifically states), can only be taken a single time (which it specifically states by default, by not saying it can be chosen multiple times), and only one of this type of feat can be selected at 1st level. This last condition was instituted as these feats are usually more powerful that their counterparts (as this feat is), and so that humans or others with a freely usable bonus feat at 1st level cannot gain an undue advantage.
