[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5180702, member: 29558"] JA - Pathfinder introduced the concept of character traits, a sort of 'half feat.' They are listed as an option, with the 'suggested' number allowed being two per character. There's a list of general traits available free on the Paizo boards, and others have been written up in various adventure paths. Would you consider using these in your game? And if you won't consider using them outright, there's a feat available called 'Additional Traits' that gives access to two extra traits - would you consider allowing a character to take two traits with this feat? Finally, typically you cannot choose two traits from the same list, but I'd like permission to do even more than that - I'd like to take the same trait twice. The trait I want is Magical Knack. I'm considering a Sorcerer/Bard (I think I've got an idea worked out that should be acceptable to you and fun to play). Magical Knack is taken for a spell casting class, and adds two to caster level for purposes of spell effects but not for number of spells known or able to cast. The bonus to caster level cannot put effective caster level higher than total hit dice. I'd like to take this trait twice, once for Sorcerer and once for Bard. So for example if I play a Sorcerer 2/Bard 3, I'd have the number of spells known and available of a 2nd level sorcerer and a third level bard, but when I actually cast the spells they'd have the punch, duration, saving throw DC etc. of a 4th level sorcerer or a 5th level bard. Depending on which (if either) option you agree to, either everyone would have access to two traits free, or they could take two traits at the cost of a feat. Thanks for considering! [/QUOTE]
