[QUOTE="Rill, post: 274535, member: 5250"] [b]A take of wish[/b] The above suggests to me, that a viable solution to the wish for a feat, is to substitute the desired feat for one already obtained by the character. Thus the wish is fulfilled, although not completely. A wish friendly DM may let the character specify which feat to lose. A swap of Run for Craft Wand might be requested as "I wish I had studied how to craft wands instead of running around the woods so much." Possible restrictions could include preventing class granted feats from being swapped out, only allowing the character-level based feats to be replaced. Or refined, perhaps allow class bonus feats to be changed, but only for another feat on the bonus feat list. One could also require that the character must have met the prerequisites of the desired feat at the level in which he gained the feat to be replaced. (ie, a wizard couldn't swap out his first level Toughness feat for Craft Ring, because at first level he couldn't have met the prerequisites for Craft Ring) Less wish friendly DMs could choose to randomly determine the feat that is lost, or decide that it will always replace the first or last feat a character earned. Then a simple "I wish I could craft wands," might do. Now, I would hope most DMs would be willing to at least explain the possible outcomes, allowing a player to make up their mind if it is worth the cost. Also be sure to explain that losing a feat that is a prerequisite for a class or another feat would prevent the character from using those abilities. (unless you are a very wish friendly DM) Well, as all decisions, it would depend on the game, players, and the potential imbalance that it could cause. I know a few characters I have run would think the spell cost a small price to pay for the chance to refine their talents. Remember, new material is coming out all the time, and sometimes the new feats or classes provide a player with the tools more akin to their vision for their character. Providing an in game path to shaping this vision while maintaining game balance seems an admirable goal, and I wouldn't let official dogma or lack thereof, get in the way. -Rill [/QUOTE]
