[QUOTE="bganon, post: 4437623, member: 60886"] Sacrifice to Caiphon: I'd be reluctant to hit this too hard with the nerf-bat, because even as-is it's really only good at low levels. Restrict it to only work with arcane or even just warlock powers and/or clarify that it's only with multi-target powers and I think it might be just fine. Starfire Womb and Shadow's Eclipse I'm totally OK with. They're nice, but not so nice that they're gimmes - there are still other good feats I'd be tempted by. Twofold Pact: yeah, probably way overpowered. I'm actually OK with the tiefling restriction, but there needs to be some way of limiting the multiclass abuse. But I don't think the warlock pact at-wills are so great that getting another is a huge deal, and you can still only use one boon at a time. Bael Turath Born: I don't get why people think this is too powerful. It's basically a paragon racial feat that (nearly) doubles a Tiefling's fire resistance. Sure, it's a high enough resistance that it's close to immune, but pretty much every monster (above heroic) that deals fire damage has attacks or effects that don't rely on fire anyway. And it's not like resistances are really that hard to come by (from items or powers) at paragon/epic. A feat seems about right; if it were possible I'm not sure I'd take this feat over something like Feywild Protection or Dwarven Durability (which are pretty badass). Student of the Athanaeum: If you restrict it to arcane or just warlock dailies, I think this is very balanced, maybe even underpowered. It may be balanced as-is. At Epic, many classes have ways to refresh dailies, so this is not a huge deal, and the prereqs are enough to discourage multiclassing just to get this feat. Compare this power with Arcane Mastery, which refreshes a wizard daily [B]instantly[/B], and can be used [B]every encounter[/B] (as long as you have action points). Wizards have no reason to multiclass to get this, and Tactical Warlords might have the Int but otherwise don't have great synergy with warlocks. For any other class Int 15 is pretty much a waste.
