[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 1780484, member: 12153"] Let me go through here and try to answer some of these questions to the best of my ability. RW, feel free to pick me apart. I won't answer them all, but I'll do my best. [list] [/list] That is what I'm going for, but I think that increasing the MP Limit by 4 for one feat is outrageously overpowered. Raising it by 2, or even 1, is more what I had in mind, though I would still allow it to be taken more than once. [list] [/list]I'd say that the caster level in question is equal to HD or Caster Level, whichever is greater [list] [/list]I assume you're talking about a Sword made with Create Life and the Elemental Object enhancement, yes? A sword made from Life would deal damage normally for a sword of it's type, save that it would deal an additional point of Life damage to any Death creature touching it, once per round. [list] [/list]Try Transform Giant, or Transform Humanoid with the Strong Creature and Strong Defenses enhancements. This one is upto the GM, really. [list] [/list]Sounds to me like you're looking for Magic with an Instantanious duration. That's really the only way I can see to create the effects you're describing. Presently, AFAIK, only the Evoke and Heal lists have a duration of instantanious, and with good reason. If RW wants to explain his reasonings for this, I'm sure we'd all be pleased to hear it. [list] [/list]I think this feat was left out for a reason. Personally, I'm glad to see it go. Same with Empowered Spell. You want to do more damage, spend more MP on damage dice. If the Maximize feat were worth it in any situation, it would be worth it in [b]every[/b] situation. Hope this helps a little. Hope RW hasn't forgotten about this thread. - Kemrain the Enlarged.
