[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 1796617, member: 12153"] Taking my idea and running somepace I never anticipated. I like this feat, RW, and I think it's fair and balanced in every regard. Given that Kathor can cast (gonna take a guess here) his Evoke Balance 10/Gen 1 spell exactly once per day, and that leaves (again with the guess) him with 6 MP, I don't see how this [b]could[/b] be unbalanced. Take into consiteration the fact that he isn't casting a spell with more MP than he has Character Levels, and still can't (unless he uses those tasty rules from the Lycean Arcana Teaser... Mmmmm.) For one Spell List? I must disagree. If the spell added to your MP limit for an entire Action Type, I would agree that +4 (upto but not exceeding your Character Level) was fair. For one List, at the cost of a feat, Max power is reqired to keep it worth it. Especially since, until 4th level, a Mage doesn't even have 20MP. This is Versatility, and Power at the expense of Endurance. Fair trade in my book. For one Spell List, Upto Character Level. For one Spell Action, +4 to MP Limit, Upto Character Level. For any Spell List, +1 to MP Limit, Upto Character Level. Is the third option a fair one? What if the extra MP could only be spent on General Enhancements? Would a class that, every other level, gave either +1 Caster Level, or +1 to MP Limit be fair? How much less powerful than a Mage of Equal level would this class be? What might be given in compensation? - Kemrian the Enjoying this Thread. [/QUOTE]
