So a brief background:Galfridus the (Formerly) GreatHuman Venerable Male WizardTransmuter 3 | Master Specialist 6 | Master of the Unseen Hand 4True NeutralIn his prime, Galfridus was an amazing Wizard. He would travel the land looking for adventure and excitement, challenges and mysteries, other wizards to test his merit. Recklessly he would dual other wizards, besting them and relishing the joy of arcane combat. However, this is how is greatness waned.During a particularly exhausting dual, Galfridus had challenged a wizard of some repute. Knowing his abilities to be slightly inferior to his opponent's, he hoped on chance a little too much. The dual was fast paced, one spell canceling another while even more reigned down upon the two combatants until finally one remained victorious.There Galfridus stood motionless, save for his lips and their incessant babbling. Having been struck by Insanity, his loyal familiar Apep cared for him. Over time the insanity waned in its power, more time was spent in relative peace instead of the complete chaos that would sometimes consume their lives. It was in one of these times when a partially insane Galfridus and Apep managed to cast a limited wish. Tinged with an insane edge, the spell worked mostly. To this day, lingers of that life-altering dual spell still affect the (Formerly) Great Galfridus.Many years had past since his days in adventuring the world. In those years it had changed for the worse. Holed up in their magical mansion, Galfridus and Apep rarely ventured out, lest they become to focus of unwanted ire, for Galfridus' confidence is not what it used to be. However, as the world becomes progressively more evil by the day, he knows that balance must be met. Such places were not meant to exist under such conditions, and should this limitless evil continue unchecked, it could spell the ruin of all.A wizened, frail looking, white bearded man, Galfridus and his loyal Apep know what must be done._____________________I just realized now, after wanting to run this PrC for a long time, that it doesn't have spell progression. My heart just sank. It looks like I will run the Druid Master of Many Forms.As for the Exalted Feats, I'm not looking at anything that will get me killed immediately in this setting, and admittedly there are few that are really conducive to this build. There are a couple (Nymph's Kiss, Exalted Wild Shape, Exalted Companion) which would work without any issue, but that's about it. I'm perfectly okay with forgoing the rest of the feats. Or, if you'd like, we can swap them out for some ability score increases, like in Epic Levels. Yeah?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Anyway, let me know what you think, if you'd allow me to have full spell progression for Master of the Unseen Hand, then my choice is clear. However, long shots not withstanding, don't worry about the Exalted Feats.</blockquote>
