[QUOTE="Snapdragyn, post: 1486908, member: 12432"] True, & the wizard will be casting other spells as you mention. However, a 5th level rogue with the required feat is going to be getting 3d6 sneak attack damage each round (no flanking needed thanks to blink) while having only a 50% chance of being hit (unless concentration is required to maintain the feat -- again, I'm hoping my brief look missed something like that which would even it up). Did I miss that concentration is required, or that only members of the psychic class can take the feat? [b]If[/b] no concentration check is required & rogues can take it, I do think this particular power is unbalanced. Even if only a psychic can take it, I still think a 4rog/1psychic is going to be unbalanced [i]in this particular narrow scenario[/i] against a 5 wizard -- you'd still get 2d6 sneak attack damage & be able to blink far more than the wizard. Not going to be of any use when you need to boost your resistance, mend an item, or any of the myriad of other things a wizard could do even with their 'lowly' 0-level spells, of course, but just to compare in a single battle. Yes, it would take a feat -- but a feat that IMO would yield too good a result. I don't see how it would take any skill points, since there is [i]no[/i] DC required to succeed (which might represent the easiest fix; just add a DC check to begin & another each round to continue until the maximum duration for the char is reached).
