[QUOTE="Chun-tzu, post: 815035, member: 1441"] Sorcerers have a hard time qualifying for Elemental Savant, because they need 8 ranks in Knowledge: The Planes. There are a few ways to work around this, but none are that great for this character. Cosmopolitan or Education would make it a class skill, but those are regional feats, and you've chosen Calish[i][/i]ite for your region. You might be able to convince your DM to allow you to take one of those feats anyway (you can take regional feats from other regions if you've spent enough time there), but a lot of DMs probably won't go for that, and you don't have the feats to spare. You could also take levels in Wizard or Bard, since they have Knowledge: The Planes as a class skill, but that dilutes your Sorcerer caster level. The other thing to consider is that you lose a lot in versatility by focusing so much on fire magic. You're just not going to have the utility spells that a standard wizard or sorcerer would otherwise have (like maybe invisibility, haste, knock, and so on). So most DMs probably won't object, because you're losing out on quite a but by hyper-specializing. [/QUOTE]
