Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Pendragon" data-source="post: 1937851" data-attributes="member: 707">You can be a decent archer without Rapid Shot, though I'm not really arguing that it isn't either must-have or nearly so.  It's just that, without Rapid Shot an archer can survive.  Without Precise Shot...just not possible.I disagree.  For a paltry xp cost, the massive gp savings of this feat is phenomenal.  You'll have so much more equipment than the rest of the party it's not even funny.  If the DM allows for downtime, it's a must-have.  If not, not.I disagree.  A sorcerer's limited spell selection makes having different energy types available difficult, and the best boom spells in the game are all fire.  Scorching Ray, Fireball, Meteor Swarm...  Being able to avoid strong resistances or target weaknesses is crucial in the mid- to high-level game.Elder-Basilisk did a great summation of the power of Augmented Healing some time ago, do you remember reading it?  Suffice it to say it's wildly powerful.  Not just close, absolutely essential.  In fact, getting Augmented Healing means the cleric can spend less time being a healer, because each of his healing spells will be much more powerful.Words of Creation is an extremely powerful choice for bards.  At the cost of some nonlethal damage (not too much in the case of Inspire Courage,)  it allows a bard to double the effect of his Bardic Music.  This is useful from level one, and just gets better as the bard gains access to higher-level bardic music effects.Again, mid- to high-levels is where I find this feat essential.  I suppose I could downgrade this to "nearly essential" though. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
