[QUOTE="Wolfen Priest, post: 273803, member: 3909"] Well, if you don't think [i]any[/i] feats in D&D are broken (3rd party or no ~ I'm not familiar with Bastion Press's material), then we probably disagree on a lot of things. I'm content to agree to disagree.:p As far as having an issue with a class, speaking only for myself, [i]I[/i] don't, in fact I prefer to play spellcasters and don't think they are broken at all, or even really unbalanced. Although having played a few 3e clerics, I can say that a couple of the feats in DotF are a little broken (not to mention the spells and prestige classes, which are another reason I wouldn't want to play in FR anyway, since that is the actual thread topic). I just don't see a need to add a pretty awesome feat to an already good repetoire of feats for spellcasters. And as has been discussed here, there are plenty of _valid_ reasons (doesn't mean you have to agree with them) to consider the feat Spellcasting Prodigy "broken" (for lack of a better term). For one, the +1 DC to ALL SPELLS is pretty hard to come by; add to that the (IMO very underestimated) *[i][b]high-level[/b][/i][b][/b] extra spell slot you'll get, which I think is actually a *really* good deal. An extra 5th level spell slot? Every day? That's not powerful??:confused: I will admit that I am [i]not[/i] familiar with the ruleset of FR; I tried to make that clear in my first post. But from what I have garnered from those who are 'into' that setting over the months, it seems a veritable munchkin's paradise. Plus, and this is obviously more important, it just doesn't interest me. [/QUOTE]
