Message: <blockquote data-quote="LordAO" data-source="post: 547889" data-attributes="member: 6010">Spellcasting Prodigy isn't overpowered at all. In fact, I would imagine being a prodigy would do more for you than that. And as far as spell focus, I for one think that it is underpowered. However you must remember that Spellcasting Prodigy only affects one type of magic. Spell focus affects all spells of that school, regardless of class. So a Cleric/Wizard will probably benefit more from spell focus than spellcasting prodigy. And you must also remember that these feats stack, so both are useful.And as far as the save DCs, I'm playing a level 17 Sorcerer who has a charisma of 34 (thanks to wish and cloak of charisma), spellcasting prodigy, spell power +3 (from Archmage), spell focus, etc. and people STILL save against my spells quite often. All those feats and bonuses merely make up for the fact that saving throw bonuses are too high in comparison, and multiclass characters, paladins, etc get even worse. Any joe blow can buy a cloak/vest of resistance to raise all of his saving throws (they aren't even that expensive). There is no item that increases save DCs. Then you have spell resistance, immunities, etc... So believe me, it isn't unbalanced. In fact, I don't know how I would survive without it.</blockquote>
