[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 848420, member: 141"] Hey! I'm not the one adding extra sentences into the feat description. There is nothing in there about how all the casters have to agree on the decisions to be made regarding the spell; it just says they have to be casting the same spell at the same time. It doesn't say anything about how all the spells are combined to make one spell that is more powerful than any of the sub-spells. It says that when you have this feat and cast a spell under such and such conditions, the spell gets these extra bonuses. Adding extra bits of text to the feat description is like deciding that having the endurance feat means that "you can do activities twice as long before having to make constitution checks". The description of the endurance doesn't say that. No matter what you think "endurance" should mean or should do, it doesn't say that, and that's not how the feat works. Similarly, the text of cooperative spell doesn't say that decisions have to be made unanimously, or that the spell energies combine to make one spell. So that's not how the feat work. The closest parallel I can find to a similar feat is "dual strike" in sword and fist. That gives you an additional +2 to your attack roll when you and someone else with the feat are flanking an opponent. Nothing there about one person having to sacrifice their attack so the other one gets a bonus- both you and your friend get an attack bonus. Similarly, when you and your friend are casting the same spell (though perhaps against different opponents), you both get bonuses. [/QUOTE]
