Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 274362" data-attributes="member: 2020">How I would handle Wishes and FeatsHere is my take on the matter:  I would allow any mage or magistress capable of throwing a Wish to grant himself or herself one, and only one, extra Feat per level.  Thus, he or she could gain an extra Feat at levels 17, 18, 19, and 20.  Each would require the Wish spell, and the requisite 5,000 experience points would be expended, but I would not haggle over the wording of the Wish - I would simply allow this to be done.  I would allow this mage or magistress to throw one (and ONLY one) Wish for the purpose of giving a Feat to another character, per level.  Thus, the mage could give out 4 Feats.  One at levels 17, 18, 19, and 20.  These 4 Feats could all be given to one character, or 1 Feat could be given to 4 characters, or anything in between.  Again, I would not haggle over the wording of the wish - I would simply let this happen.  However, any attempt to exceed this would be beyond the power of the Wish spell.  Any attempt beyond this would waste the Wish, and still cost the mage or magistress 5,000 experience points in the offing.  Under almost NO circumstances could a player use one of his characters to give another one of his characters Feats.  For me to allow that, I would require EXTRAORDINARY justification first (being family is not sufficient justification - saving the life of your stronger character with your weaker character, a very unlikely situation, might be enough justification.)  As for Epic Spells, yes, an Epic Spell could be developed that allowed one to take non-epic Feats.  This Epic Spell would be usable more often than a Wish - up to 2 Feats per level, or 2 Feats to other characters per level, up to a DC of 40.  3 Feats per level, or 3 Feats to other characters per level, up to a DC of 60.  And so on.  An Epic Spell that allowed the character to gain Epic Feats would have a DC of 60 or higher, in all likelihood.  Such a spell would allow one Epic Feat per level, or one Epic Feat to another (Epic only) character per level.  That would be how I'd handle it, based on what I know of 3rd edition.  I might change what I'd do, given more experience and a better understanding of this edition of the game.</blockquote>
