[QUOTE="Bastoche, post: 631958, member: 306"] As a player of a wizard planning for career (I'm only 2nd level), I'd have to say that these 3 feats worth much more than the benefits of the loremaster in the grand scheme of things. For example, if I plan on creating a staff of power someday, I'll need some low level spell (where I will not want to waste money on divination spells), two creation feat and one or two metamagic feat. one of the craft feat is utterly useless for a mage in general (except for 2 very particular things: building golems and building a staff of power) and a metamagic item with a more or less limited applicability. Them you will want to create wands and have a few cool metamagic feat for long term goals (maximize and quicken especially) and maybe you'd like to get those bracers of armor. Now how many feat does this make ? 7 feats out of 11 in a non-human wizard's career. And we're the 4 others would be better off as improved initiative, thoughness (to survive that 1st level after all), spell penetration and spell focus. So I take this opportunity to add that even as a power gamer, I haven't seen any PrC that I felt would've been better than the straight wizard class. That being said I'm not that familiar with the tome & blood splatbook... The only other PrC I found ok was the Red Wizard. And still, it would depend on what school I specialise in... [/QUOTE]
