[QUOTE="Capellan, post: 547927, member: 6294"] Good point. I'd forgotten about that original feat, all the way up there :-) Another good point. This raises an interesting question, though: say a Sor/Wiz knows Fireball as a Sorcerer but not as a Wziard. Should they get these stacking bonus on those spells? Maybe one option to consider is to make these feats apply to any character with two or more casting classes? For instance: SPELL SYNERGY [General] Your spell-casting expertise carries over between your classes. [b]Prerequisites:[/b] 1st-level spells in two or more classes. [b]Benefit:[/b] When you roll to overcome a creature’s spell resistance, with a spell that you know in two or more classes, you gain a synergy bonus equal to the spell's level in the other class in which you know it. If you know the spell in more than one additional class, use the highest level. This bonus stacks with that gained from Spell Penetration or Greater Spell Penetration. For example: Alexander is a Wizard/Bard who knows [i]slow[/i] as a 3rd level spell in both classes. If he casts the spell in either of his classes, he gains a +3 bonus for the purposes of penetrating spell resistance. If he only knew [i]slow[/i] as a Wizard, he woul get no bonus when casting it. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
