Do you like the name "Golden Wyvern Adept"?

[Goken100]

There's an interesting debate going on over the name of this new 4E feat:
Golden Wyvern Adept
Tier: Paragon
Benefit: You can omit a number of squares from the effects of any of your area or close wizard powers. This number can’t exceed your Wisdom modifier.

Where do you stand?

No the name is not helpful at all.

"Golden Wyvern" sounds more like the name of an inn than a feat.

I will wait and see how it fits into the game. I don't think it is going to be a general feat but one tied to a specific 'order': the Goldern Wyverns. I think the feat is part of a new way of looking at Prestige classes. As such, it could work. If it's a general feat; no, sucks.

I don't like the name, and I somewhat don't like the feat. The other 3 feats I could mention in passing and most would get the general idea. The name is cumbersome (even if it is a wizard's 'style' similar to a fighter's weapon). Also, unless I'm missing something obvious, it's effects don't seem to have anything to do with the style.

I'm also curious how you [omit] squares from a [close] spell that isn't an area. If a spell doesn't have an area... how does it have squares?

When I want names like that I play Exalted.

I'm pretty sure it's tied to the Golden Wyvern order, and that's just fine with me.

I'll need to know more about 'Golden Wyvern' and how it fits with the rest of the book before I pass judgement.

As others have said, if it is part of the new style of PrCs then it is fine. If it's a "regular" feat then I have issues with it.

I wouldn't mind something called golden wyvern adept if it had to do with some combination of poison, a stinging tail attack, or a visible effect of gold color. But as something that lets you exclude squares you're targeting with magic - doesn't make sense to me.

 

[Rechan]

I'm willing to bet that it's less a PrC and more like a fighting style. Unless you subscribe to the Golden Wyvern style or tradition or magical training, you can't access it.

I'm betting the name is a red herring. They saw the reaction to "Dragon's Tail Cut" and decided to have a little fun with the Internets by floating a goofy, completely non-descriptive name for a feat.

If the name stands in the final PH, I'll be very surprised, and will be tempted to get out the Wite-Out and rename it to "Selective Targeting" or some other sensible name.
