Spellfire

I never thought of this before, but since you need to "Ready an Action" to absorb spell levels, you can't do it out side of combat.


Under that rule, it balances out pretty well. It's only when they can be "charged up" a day in advance that it becomes a problem.

Oh, come now.

You mean to say that a spellfire wielder can't engage in "combat" with a spellcaster buddy?

Personally, I think that spellfire's only unbalancing at extremely low levels, as kreynolds hinted. You could theoretically require that the character take the feat at 1st level, but only become able to use spellfire upon reaching 5th character level.

I'd not allow mock combat to work. If you want to fight your buddies for real, then sure, you could ready an action to use Spellfire to absorb spell energy.
