[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7345023, member: 1465"] Yes, in fact I decided not to post my remark but I was going to say that if anything, those feats are on the weak side. However they do have a sound principle IMO, which is granting a higher level of spells each time. They just need to be balanced to be worth taking, since spending 4 feats for 2 cantrips + 4 known spells with 1 cast per day each is excessively expensive. In some older thread I was suggesting that they could instead grant actual [I]spell slots[/I], and more than 1 known spell. A quick draft as a starting point: Magic Adept Prerequisite: Arcane Initiate, Divine Initiate, or Druidic Initiate Choose one 2nd-level spell and two 1st-level spells from the same spell list you used for the prerequisite feat. You learn those spells and you gain one 2nd-level spell slot and two 1st level spell slots to cast spells learned with these feats (this replaces the 1/day casting granted by the prerequisite feat). Improved Magic Adept Prerequisite: Magic Adept Choose one 3rd-level spell and two 2nd or lower level spells from the same spell list you used for the prerequisite feat. You learn those spells and you gain one 3rd-level spell slot, one additional 2nd-level spell slot and one additional 1st-level spell slots to cast spells learned with these feats. Superior Magic Adept Prerequisite: Improved Magic Adept Choose one 4th-level spell and two 3rd or lower level spells from the same spell list you used for the prerequisite feat. You learn those spells and you gain one 4th-level spell slot, one additional 3rd-level spell slot, one additional 2nd-level spell slot and one additional 1st-level spell slot to cast spells learned with these feats. All feats together grant 12 known spells (2 of which cantrips) and a set of 10 spells slots (4 of 1st, 3 of 2nd, 2 of 3rd, 1 of 4th level), which is reasonable for a 4-feats investment. On second thoughts, maybe now this is too much... but I think you get my point. [/QUOTE]
