[QUOTE="Magius del Cotto, post: 384387, member: 6554"] This is a feat tree that I thought up while driving in my car, designed for fighter-mages of high (maybe even epic) level. Thing is, I don't know what the prereqs for them should be, so I'll post the tree up here, and I'll listen to what you have to say about them. Combat Caster You can split your focus between casting and combat. Prereqs: ... Benefit: You no longer draw an attack of oppertunity when you cast spells. Normal: You draw an attack of oppurtunity when you start casting a spell. Weapon Caster You can hold a weapon when casting spells. Prerequisite: Combat Caster... Benefit: You can now hold a weapon or shield while casting a spell. Normal: You cannot cast a spell while holding a weapon or a shield (other than a buckler). Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you take it, it applies to a different weapon or type of shield. Spell Dancer You can now make an attack while casting a spell. Prerequisites: Weapon Caster with the weapon... Benefit: You may now make a single attack a round (including Attacks of Oppurtunity) while casting a spell without penalty. Normal: You cannot make any attacks while casting a spell. Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you take it, it applies to a different weapon. Single-Weapon Caster You can now attack normally while casting a spell while wielding a single one handed weapon. Prerequisites: Spell Dancer with the weapon... Benifet: You may now attack normally with a one handed weapon while casting a spell. Normal: You cannot attack while casting a spell Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you take it, it applies to a different weapon. Double-Handed Weapon Caster You may now attack normally with any single two handed weapon while casting a spell. Prerequisites: Single Weapon Caster with the weapon... Benifit: You may now attack normally with any two-handed weapon. Normal: Blah-blah-blah, see above. Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you take it, it applies to a different weapon. Two Weapon Caster You may now attack normally with any two one handed weapons while casting a spell. Prerequisites: Single Weapon Caster with the weapon... Benifit: See description. Normal: See above. Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time you take it, it applies to a different weapon. OK, there's the feat list. Obviously, they all build off each other (except for Two Weapon and Two Handed), and are progressively more powerful. One thing I was thinking of was a scaling Concentration requirement for the feats, but that may not work out right. Well, I'll leave it up to you to discuss. [/QUOTE]
