Unless you intend to increase the amount of feats gained by wizards; I don't see how you are encouraging your players to make things through crafting (magic poor campaigns tend to encourage crafting magic items just to have something). Item Creation feats are about all that is left for the wizard's choice for bonus feats if you take away Metamagic feats. That is not encouragement; it is coercion. If you remove all the other choices; they will have to choose what is left. You mentioned adding to the Wizard's bonus feat list; I expect something along the lines of : Eschew Material, Augment Summoning, Spell Focus, Greater Spell Focus, Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, Improved Counterspell, Magical Aptitude, and Improved Familiar. Some of these choices seem more necessary than Item Creation feats (unless magic items are few and far between). I would suggest allowing a wizard to specialize in some type of magic item construction at first level (in place of Scribe Scroll). I've never understood why it takes 12 levels before you can make a ring but most rings require a lesser level to make than that; so why put level requirements on rings unless it is higher than 12th level? (Yeah, I know, so you can figure the price.)Cloistered Clerics need something to replace their lost combat abilities; how about a bonus feat for them, say every 3 or 4 levels (of course I don't have UA, and that imbalance was probably taken care of in that book). Make a list of feats they can choose from like: Improved Turning, Extra Turning, Plant Control, Plant Defiance, Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, Spell Focus, Greater Spell Focus, Eschew Materials, and Augment Summoning.Just my thoughts.
