Message: <blockquote data-quote="charlesatan" data-source="post: 1938242" data-attributes="member: 20870">Strangely enough, the only time I actually take Combat Casting are for my low-level cleric characters because they tend to use a lot of melee touch attack spells. Other than that, my sorcerer/wizard tends to stay far away from the enemy (or the ever-useful 5-foot step) when casting spells.Personally, my heirarchy of resources is this: feats, skills, then magic items. If I can get a magic item that boosts my Concentration skill, then I'd go for that rather than spend skill points or feats. Over a choice between spending skill points or spending a feat, I'd go for spending skill points since feats tend to be scarcer. But that's a general practice and there are exceptions.I'm not saying Combat Casting is not a good feat. It's just that it depends on what type of caster you're building. Even for secondary casters like Paladin or Ranger, I would even be hesitant to take Combat Casting since most of their spells are either "buff spells" or "ranged spells", which means I usually cast them far away from the opponent. By the time I'm in melee range, I do melee attacks.</blockquote>
