[QUOTE="LordAO, post: 261232, member: 6010"] Yes, learning a feat is ALWAYS better than learning a spell. Spells have costs and other issues that feats don't. Besides, that's the way the rules are structured. Wizards can learn spells a whole lot easier than they can feats. A Sorcerer at lev 20 knows 43 spells, but only 7 feats. For the last time, there is NO equivalency between spells and feats. Spells are always easier to learn than feats. Wizards have no limit to the number of spells they know. But even the mightiest Wizard has only a limited feat selection. As far as those spells you mentioned, yes they are powerful spells. But just imagine how powerful those spells are with metamagics on them! If you don't think feats are powerful just check out the smackdown forum... A wizard doesnt need a wish to learn a new spell, but he can't learn new feats except when going up in level, just like everybody else. So of course getting a new spell isn't as good a use of wish as learning a new feat is. Learning a new spell is just making the wizard's life easier, since he isn't doing anything he normally couldn't. Getting a new feat is fundamentaly changing the rules of the game, as that is doing something he normally could never do, by the rules. But if you don't think it's fair to allow wizards to get new spells with wish if people cant get new feats with it, then don't allow either option.
