Message: <blockquote data-quote="trav_laney" data-source="post: 3226146" data-attributes="member: 46508">I decided to leave skill points alone...2 + Int seems to work out pretty well for wizards, since they typically have high Intelligence.I also revamped my previous idea about the Knowledge (arcana) skill and metamagic feats.  See, I noticed that a clever player could gain far too many bonus feats too quickly by tweaking his Intelligence and choosing certain skills.  So here is what I came up with:Arcane Knowledge: for every 5 ranks in Knowledge (arcana), a wizard gains any one metamagic feat for free as a bonus feat.  As with all bonus feats, the wizard must meet the requirements of a particular feat before he can select it.As for the Arcane Craftsmanship ability, Sigurd makes a very valid point...ranks in the Craft skill should have been a requirement for all item creation feats.  But that is a whole 'nother thread, I am afraid.  In the meantime, I kinda like the way this class ability is written...so I fixed a few typos and balance issues and this is what I got:Arcane Craftsmanship: wizards who focus their studies on craftsmanship eventually learn to weave magic into their products.  By placing enough ranks into appropriate Craft skills, a wizard can gain item creation feats for free as a bonus feat.6 ranks in Craft (alchemy): free Brew Potion feat6 ranks in Craft (calligraphy): free Scribe Scroll feat15 ranks in Craft (jewelry): free Forge Ring feat9 ranks in Craft (woodwork): free Craft Wand feat12 ranks in Craft (woodwork): free Craft Rod feat18 ranks in Craft (woodwork): free Craft Staff feat8 ranks in both Craft (weaponmaking) and Craft (armormaking): free Craft Arms & Armor feat6 ranks in any three different Craft skills: free Craft Wondrous Item feat</blockquote>
