[QUOTE="Votan, post: 3277884, member: 18680"] Well, I would quibble about Arcane Strike being an usual feat. It's been on my radar from within a week of the release of the Complete Warrior as being an interesting spell. In general, the problem with the spell is that it can be pushed into being too tough with focus. Many potentially problem spells work that way. For example, Divine Power is pretty reasonable if and only of it can't be easily persisted. Blasphemy is a fine spell unless your cleric figures out how to add 10 caster levels and watches Titans and Dragons go down. Polymorph can be a fine spell until people start scouring 10 monster manuals for the most overpowered form at every hit die level. Wratihstrike works perfectly fine in the hands of a single classed wizard or sorcerer. I am not even worried about it in the hands of an assassin. But that example of a 6th level cleric using divine metamagic to persist it at 6th level was chilling. If he then invests the feats and gold to be able to persist Divine Power as well then the warriors are going to have a hard time keeping up. [/QUOTE]
