[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 635702, member: 3051"] Loremaster abilities that an Evoker would want: +1 to attack rolls (for all those ranged touch attacks) +1 dodge AC (better than the Dodge Feat) Free Feat (any Feat!) maybe you take the two "extra spell" Secrets, or the +1 Reflex/Fort/Will, etc. More skill points, too. This cost you one general Feat and two bonus metamagic/item Feats. Most Evokers I know would take that in a heartbeat. I'm not saying there aren't even better PrCs for them, I'm just saying that the first caster PrC is a good example of why "+1 to spellcasting class" at every level isn't balanced. All of these are things a Wizard would want, regardless of specialty. In fact, the +1 to attack rolls is the MOST useful for Evoker (or maybe Conjurer) types; it's practically useless for the Diviners. Ever see someone take Weapon Focus (ray)? I have, and this is better. And yet again: there is NO DOWNSIDE. I take Empower Spell and Energy Substitution(Sonic) at levels 3 and 5, I get Scribe Scroll for Free... there, I've met almost all of the class requirements by taking things I wanted anyway. [/QUOTE]
