[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6982760, member: 4937"] I actually agree that Fiery Burst is one of the better designed reserve feats, but as a practical matter I'm not sure how low the unlimited dps actually is. Compared to what? At third level you can throw 2d6 damage at up to 4 targets per round. That's not really less damage than great sword fighter throwing 2d6+6 at a single target, or an archer throwing out a similar amount of damage using rapid fire. Against single target it might be slightly less depending on the AC of the foe, but against multiple foes its going to outclass other repeated forms of damage in a hurry. 5d6 per round to up to 4 targets (up to 20d6 damage) is still really nice at 9th level, and comparable to having equipped yourself with a cheap wand. I'm not sure it qualifies as 'low dps'. More like 'moderate dps that isn't really far behind what would be expected of a class at your level. Oh, and you still have your spells'. While it's balanced or close to balanced, mostly because there are far more broken things for a full caster to be doing, it's just another example of spellcasters not being forced to deal with limitations and there basically being whatever toy they would want to deal with whatever limitation might annoy them.
