If you have to make choice A to stay viable, then choice A is not a choice.Indeed, choice A, should be a class feature. The underlying mechanic needs to be repaired to restore the Option to choice A.Spell Focus was nerfed to stop the Red Wizard/Archmage/Spell Power abuses that got to ridiculous levels. However, the problem was allready fixed by the changes to spell power and/or a flat removal of GSF.More and more it looks like the 3.5 design team came up with two or three ideas to 'fix' problems in 3.0, tested them in vacuum, then inserted all of them without regard to the cross-nerf synergies. [/B]</blockquote>I agree that GSF could have been eliminated, instead of reducing each feat to +1.  In addition, the DM that I play with doesn't all either Red Wizard (not a FR campaign), nor does he allow the Archmage (thinks it is too powerful).I do agree that some of the design team may not have thought it through.  To the extent that a DM can change whatever he likes/dislikes, it isn't a big deal, however, it does matter in things RPGA.Cheers[/QUOTE]
