[QUOTE="Runestar, post: 4617422, member: 72317"] I would probably recommend complete mage's reserve feats over UA's recharge magic variant if it is access to more firepower you desire. I personally feel that the latter is riddled with flaws, not least because the existing spells were designed with vancian casting in mind, not recharge variant. So you get weird scenarios like a 5th lv wizard being able to buff a fighter with bull's strength 24/7, because the spell recharges more quickly than its duration. That is the problem with UA. They are just a glorified bunch of houserules which the designers cobbled together. I am not sure just how much effort was placed into playtesting, because certain rules such as spell-point variant have proved to be just as problematic as the feature it was designed to replace, if not more. Sure, you can use them. But I would daresay that you may not necessarily be any better off. You might simply be trading one set of flaws for another. [/QUOTE]
