Those tradeoffs sting even more than I thought they would. I'd have trouble justifying any of those except maybe the 14th-level and 19th-level ones. And I bet that will change once we see the full list of feats.[SIZE=-2]*Technically any ability score, but come on, you're a wizard. You know where your first two stat bumps are going.[/SIZE]</blockquote>
