[QUOTE="d20Dwarf, post: 3121102, member: 314"] I can't say that my inspiration for reserve feats *wasn't* psionic focus feats (whereas I can definitely say it wasn't locus feats or whatever, because I've never heard of those), but I don't think I'd taken a close look a the new psionic book when I was conceiving these. It was in the middle of my work for Champions of Ruin, I was sitting there one day ruminating on my dislike of playing spellcasters and what I could do to make them cooler. The idea of reserve feats came to me and I'm pretty sure I whipped off an article to Dragon that day and then offered them to WotC for Champions of Ruin after I didn't hear back from Dragon. I was happy to hear earlier this year when I visited WotC that they were going to surface in Complete Mage...I do so little actual work for D&D these days that it's nice to make some contribution. :D (The reserve feats went through development since my initial offerings, but I"m not sure how much since I haven't seen the book yet. So, I can't claim credit for the end result, just the initial 10-15 feats I sent in, and I suppose the spur to use the idea in the first place :D I'm usually not a credit whore, but I'm proud of the idea of reserve feats and think they're going to change how a lot of people play spellcasters, so in this case I'll make an exception ;) ).
