[QUOTE="Iron_Chef, post: 929548, member: 4530"] I agree. I've seen this "pick one spell you can't normally cast and learn it" as a feat in several books from Mongose and FFG, and always thought it was a good idea. A fireball casting cleric of kossuth or some other fire god is not an unreasonable thing, IMO, and certainly full of flavor like Starburst Fruit Chew Candy. :D Or a wizard with an affinity for chaos magic casting chaos hammer. Where I would draw the line is if the spell is wildly inappropriate for the deity to grant its followers, or where the spell is exclusive to a particular deity and intent on not letting wizards poach his divine secrets. Fortunately, such a ruling falls on the DM's discretion, not the player's, everytime. :) Druids casting color spray makes sense to me. Colors are a part of nature, after all! I'd love to see a druid screaming "Taste the rainbow!" and launching a color spray, LOL. A balancing tactic one could use is that a lower level version must be researched first, such as you must take "Cure Light Wounds" before "Cure Moderate Wounds", or "Fireball" before "Delayed Blast Fireball". That uses up two feats and makes the player think hard about his choices. [/QUOTE]
