[QUOTE="trav_laney, post: 3224578, member: 46508"] After an evening of playtesting, I begrudgingly admit that giving out more bonus feats is too power-heavy. So I'm going to have to come up with another way to handle it. The idea of giving skill points for Knowledge (only) is friggin' brilliant! It gave me an idea on a couple of new class features for the wizard, that reward the proper investment of skill points. Let me know what you think: [B]Arcane Craftsmanship:[/B] Wizards who focus their study on craftsmanship eventually learn to interweave magic into their products. By placing enough skill points into the appropriate Craft skill, wizards may gain bonus item creation feats. 3 ranks each in Craft (calligraphy): wizard gains Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat 6 ranks in Craft (alchemy): wizard gains Brew Potion 9 ranks in Craft (woodwork): wizard gains Craft Wand 12 ranks in Craft (woodwork): wizard gains Craft Rod 18 ranks in Craft (woodwork): wizard gains Craft Staff 8 ranks in Craft (armorsmithing or weaponsmithing): wizard gains Craft Arms & Armor 15 ranks in Craft (jewelry or gemcutting): wizard gains Forge Ring 6 ranks in Craft (any 3): wizard gains Craft Wondrous Item [B]Arcane Knowledge: [/B] Wizards who focus their study on the arcane arts eventually learn great and terrible magical secrets. By placing enough skill points into Knowledge (arcana), wizards may gain bonus metamagic feats. 5 ranks in Knowledge (arcana): wizard gains Extend Spell or Enlarge Spell as a bonus feat 9 ranks in Knowledge (arcana): wizard gains Empower Spell or Reach Spell 12 ranks in Knowledge (arcana): wizard gains Maximize Spell or Widen Spell 15 ranks in Knowlege (arcana): wizard gains Quicken Spell 18 ranks in Knowledge (arcana): wizard gains Persistent Spell 5 ranks each in Knowledge (the planes) and Knowledge (arcana): wizard gains Energy Substitution If I use these new class features, I would remove all of the wizard's bonus feats (even Scribe Scroll at 1st level) and leave everything else alone...[I]maybe[/I] boost the skill points per level to 4 + Int modifier, but I doubt it.
