The wizard in my campaign is a Tome of Readiness junkie, taking feats etc to take as many extra powers to pick from at each rest. This is largely a role play decision, but the player has begun to love the variety he can bring, often asking the party each day to help him decide which powers will be most useful.
He has proposed to me a houseruled feat to allow him to choose which daily he has prepared at the time he uses it, instead of at each extended rest. My first reaction was to say no, as this seemed to go against the very design of the wizard class. I tried to back this decision up by researching some other feats that may give a similar effect. This is the only feat I found.
Improved Tome ofReadiness
Paragon Tier
Prerequisite: 11th level, Con 13, Wis 13, wizard, Tome of Readiness class feature
Benefit: After you prepare your daily and utility wizard powers after an extended rest, choose one daily or utility power in your spellbook that you didn’t prepare and store this power in your tome.
Once per encounter as a free action, you can use this stored power by expending another unused wizard power of the appropriate type (daily or utility) of its level or higher. You must still take the normal action required to use the stored power.
First off, we are currently at level 8. This feat isn't even available to him for 3 more levels. Second, his proposed feat would make this one superfluous.
On the other hand, I like to say yes to my players, and want the. To play characters they enjoy playing. The wizard has complained to having never used some powers, even when he's prepared them. I don't want to be a jerk about this, so I'm asking you all. Is this proposed feat (flexible casting) broken?
