You choose Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma as your spellcasting modifier for these spells when you take this feat. You can cast these spells once per Long Rest without expending a spell slot, and can cast them again using spell slots.This feat can be taken more than once, but you must choose a different spell list each time.Musician: You gain proficiency with three musical instruments of your choice.

Thereafter, your Hit Point maximum increases by 2 each time you level up.Crafter tells us about the existence of a fast crafting table, that looks fascinating and useful. Healer allows an action heal using the targets HD, that's awesome and really welcome. Skilled allows for tools which can be interesting, especially if you take skilled and crafter. Rest look to be about what we expected.</blockquote>
