Feat for the Sorcerer in your life!

[Limper]

Exchange of Talent (General/Blood Taint)

Prereq: Spontanious Arcanist (cast arcane spells spontaniously).

Benefits: Two SA's may exchange spells from their list known, with in the following guild lines.

The spell must be of a level that the Arcanist may cast.

The arcanists must both have the feat

The spell exchanged must appear on the receivers list.

The arcanists must be able to pay an experience cost equal to (50 x the level of spell given) (Cantrips cost 25 xps)

The spells are EXCHANGED and thus removed from their givers list

 

[Billiarmus]

feat is interesting, but you may want to define it a bit more.

Does exchange mean one gets switched out for another in each caster's case or a new one is added to each one's repetoire?

Also, i'm not sure what the feat spontainious arcanist does.

With a little more info, posters, including myself, might be able to offer more help.

 

[Crothian]

I think the prerequite is you must be able to cast arcane spells spontaniously.

I'd require the spell to be on the person's spell list. So bards can't trade cure light wounds to a zorcerer for magic missile.

Also, the spells traded are gone. THat way you cannot go above the max known spells.

 

[Limper]

A couple of clarifying (hopefully) edits have been added.

Also I've got another I'm working on if anyone is interested... for a long while I've felt that Sorcerer's have needed some flavor, so rather than ban them from my game I'm trying to make them seem cooler.

It's cool, but in a sort of "real world context" it would seem to have little utility except as a way for a PC to get out of a bad spell choice by screwing an NPC most spells "wear out" at higher levels so lets say I want to exchage sleep a spell which is really nice at low levels but kind of sucky at high ones, who do I trade with? No one really wants sleep because it will wear out, perhaps it can be continuellyt traded down, but thats fairly limited utility when both people have to have the feat. What about a feat which allowed limited sharing of spell lists by sorcerers of the same order within a limited area? Just a thought.

 

[Limper]

I doubt an NPC would trade a useless spell for anything but a useless spell.

Practical use... trade elements (Fire for Ice say) or just to try something new. The spontainious arcane casters get boring after a while unless your threshhold of excitement only goes as high as "I Magic Missle it!"

There is someone who wants Sleep by the way... the low level chap who needs it and could trade Floating Disk for it.

I could see a Sorcerer guild being built around this feat. They offer training to get it (so you spend time, money, some XP and you get the feat).

A Cartel of some sort would thrive on this one... also since Sorcerers have a static list of spells it makes them sitting ducks at high levels... a little research on the part of a foe and you are a gonner, all your tricks are accounted for. This feat would end that particular problem... you could always have an ace up your sleave.
