Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 3252487" data-attributes="member: 3929">Actually, the feat itself is fairly clear. "You learn one additional spell at any level up to one level lower..." This wording does not limit the feat-chooser to which spell he chooses.If the feat intended to only allow extra spells from the class' spell list, then it was poorly worded to express that limitation; you must assume that the intent was otherwise to suspect that the wording of the feat was unclear.The FAQ entry does indeed confirm the suspicion that many folks had regarding the intent of the feat, and those looking for confirmation that the feat limits the choice to those spells within the class spell list found it in the FAQ. But it does not change the fact that the feat standing alone is very clear: the character who chooses this feat may "learn one additional spell". No other restrictions were placed upon that choice except that done by DMs who didn't want spellcasters venturing outside of their class list and those thinking along the same lines as the FAQ.And let me conclude by saying that something being clear and something being balanced or well written is not the same at all; often the meaning of what has been written and the intent of the author diverge without acknowledgement.</blockquote>
