[QUOTE="atomn, post: 3034383, member: 40154"] Hey all, I'm working on an information broker type diviner for a Ptolus game I'm about to play in and I'd like some opinions on the feats that I'm thinking of (this is my first attempt at a v3.5 mage). To preface I'm going to take 5 levels of Diviner, 4 levels of Divine Oracle, 10 levels of Loremaster and then 1 more levels of Diviner. Feat-wise, for Divine Oracle I need Spell Focus: Divination. (I'm going for a non-Divine origin like the C.Div. book suggests and instead of Skill Focus: Know (Religion), I need the Spell Focus: Divination.) And for the Loremaster I need Skill Focus: Know (any) and three metamagic or craft magic item feats. So this is what I'm thinking: 1st (free for Wizards): Scribe Scroll 1st (human bonus feat): Able Learner-- I chose this so I could have access to skills like Gather Info, Sense Motive and Diplomacy, which would jive with the information broker concept. 1st: Collegiate Wizard-- To get a larger variety of spells. 3rd: Spell Focus: Divination 5th (Wizard Bonus Feat): Enlarge Spell-- So my clairvoyance and such spells can see further. 6th: Sanctum Spell-- Since my Scrying will be done in private, this should be a good boon. 9th: Skill Focus: Know (Arcana) 12th: Greater Spell Focus: Divination 15th: Extend Spell or Craft Wonderous Item? 15th (Bonus Loremaster Secret Feat): Heighten Spell? 18th: Hidden Thoughts I thought maybe the Collegiate Wizard or Able Learner might not be worth it. Would the extra spells really help any? Would I be better off relying on magic items to have a good Gather Info, Sense Motive and Diplomacy? I've also considered being a Gnome instead of Human and taking Trivial Knowledge (re-roll on Knowledge and Bardic Knowledge checks and take the best result). Is that a good one or hacky too? Sorry for the ridiculously long post and thanks for any help! [/QUOTE]
