[QUOTE="Jason Bulmahn, post: 5232051, member: 5149"] No worries.. Listen, I know you can replicate these effects with feats and get a disparity. I get that. The problem here is that neither of the feats you are using are particularly good. The Extra Spell feat is terrible and always has been. The new feat in the APG is a little better, but by no means a powerful feat. You are using a metric that is, in and of itself, not balanced. Not all feats are created equal, nor should they be. I have a good grasp of how good a feat can be, but many feats are not nearly so good and instead serve to flesh out concepts or provide different paths. So... that is where we are. I know that you disagree, and I understand your position, but I honestly do not believe that this bonus is going to really unbalance anyone's game. Other things in the book might.. ;) Jason Bulmahn Lead Designer Paizo Publishing PS: You wanna talk power creep, check out the hero point system in the back. There is a reason we made it optional.
