[Corinth]

Magic armor may not resize anymore. Several NPCs in #100 had Small or Large armors, which implies that it stays that way after the owner loses it. If this is so, then that's a good thing.

Corinth, why is that a good thing?

Re: Spell Focus

I think +1 DC and +1 Caster Level is definitely balanced. Unbalanced was being able to grab both feats at first level (ie- few prerequisites).

Personally I think the prereqs should be:

[make-believe]

Spell Focus
Prerequisites: 3 spells known/available in Chosen School
Benefit: You gain +1 DC and +1 Caster Level when casting spells from your Chosen School.
Special: You may take this more than once, each time it applies to a new school.

Greater Spell Focus
Prerequisites: 8 spells known/available in Chosen School, Spell Focus
Benefit: You gain +2 DC and +2 Caster Level when casting spells from your Chosen School. This overlaps (does not stack) with the bonus from Spell Focus.
Special: You may take this more than once, each time it applies to a new school.

A +1 DC for only one school is totally not worth a feat. Look at other similar feats like Girding and Penetration. Are they going to change those as well?

Because there wasn't a good reason for the rule that didn't violate verisimlitude.

I know. I hate it when magic armor in a game doesn't behave the way it does in the real world.

I don't agree. With sized magic items halflings and gnomes won't be able to use medium-sized items. Also, if, say, a hill giant has large gauntlets of ogre power on, then most likely no one will be able to use them. Etc., etc.

Kai Lord, I am very tempted to add that line to my signature. Great post!

Yes I know, but why do you think they're raising Spell Focus prerequisites? As far as I've seen, they're not touching feats prerequisites, but maybe it's a lesser topic and no one has ever said anything about it in an official way.

And about spell exchanging, do you have to upgrade a lower level spell (in a sort of "spell chain"), or is it something ridiculous as "Oh damn I forgot how to cast sleep, but, look, now I can make you bigger!".

Deh!

A Giant... with Gauntlets of Ogre Power... "Me big'n' strong as Ogre! Dey!"

The 1e 18/00 versions were better. No Giant would WANT them!!
