[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 1380232, member: 3424"] This feat would only be useful for paladins, rangers and maybe bards. For other spellcasters (cleric, druid, sorcerer, wizard), your ability score bonus is likely to be greater than 1/4 your level. To cast 2nd level spells, you need a spellcasting ability score of at least 12, which implies a bonus of at least +1. A cleric, druid or wizard should have a 12 by 3rd level, and a sorcerer would need a 12 by 4th. To cast 4th level spells, you need a 14, which implies a +2. A cleric, druid or wizard should have a 14 by 7th level, and a sorcerer by 8th, and so on, until you get to the highest levels of spellcasting ability. In theory, this feat could be useful if you are 20th level and never increase your spellcasting ability score beyond 19. By the way, when you use level, are you referring to: character level, class level or caster level? If character level, it could be useful to multiclassed spellcasters who do not improve their spellcasting ability score by much. If spellcaster level, it would be even less useful to paladins and rangers. [/QUOTE]
