This counts as a use of your control flame ability for the day. Touching the flame causes you no harm when you use this ability, but if you enter the flame, touch more than just its edge, or remain in contact with it for more than 1 round, you take damage from the fire.---------------------------------------------------I myself hate feats with diminishing returns, especially ones that ignore the hit point rationale (it is not all wounds). Giving the normal feat extra uses simply means you recognise the feat is crap, and boost it. It would be like increasing the amount of hit points gained by taking the toughness feat from 3 to 4 or something. It takes longer to become a crap feat, but eventualy it will be.Your second suggestion again is useful at low level or low hp characters, but high hp characters will find it to become less and less useful as they level up.I honestly believe that the feat should take your HD into account: If at 1st level a burning inn could bring you from near death to full health, it should have a at least a similar effect at high level, otherwise the feat is a case of "not-so-healing-flames" all of a sudden.Alternatively, you could give extra uses per level. This would still be somewhat weird. Your wounds at 1st level could be heealed in one round, at 12th level it takes more than a minute. What happened?Rav</blockquote>
