Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasin" data-source="post: 3256539" data-attributes="member: 7531">I would allow it ("poaching" off another class's list) because it could make for interesting variance from the default class lists, and because it makes the feat interesting for all casters, whereas the other interpretation makes it utterly useless for clerics and druids, mostly useless for wizards, and kind of useful for sorcerers and bards until the spell they picked becomes obsolete.I would also allow it because in my games, I don't have to worry about anyone saying "A-ha! Now I take class X and PrC Y and use Extra Spell to get spell Z and become all powerful! PWNED! Pwned for your lack of foresight!"; I'll just say "You're right, I haven't forseen that... let me think a bit more, and I'll let you know if I'll allow it." So I can afford to rule liberally in the general case, and assess potentially problematic specific cases as they come up. Wraithstriking duskblade seems like one of those problematic cases, but then, wraithstriking eldritch knight seems only a little less problematic, so I'm led to believe the problem is with wraithstrike, not getting other classes' spells.There is also precedent for allowing cross-list poaching (the recaster from Races(?) of Eberron and some sort of dragon-wizard-guy from Dragon Magic), and IIRC in both cases it works in the same way as Extra Spell: one spell of a level one lower than the highest you can cast, so it's not as if the concept itself is some sort of D&D no-no.</blockquote>
