I would probably worry more about it if my players were more inclined to play spellcasters. I will tackle those issues as they come up. I'm not too worried about other feats, because I think the number of feats a character can have based on his level already limits the abuse of stockpiling feats. As for prestige classes like the Loremaster, I will handle those on a case-by-case basis, since I don't anticipate it will come up often, if at all. I would probably add another requirement for the PrC, but I'm not sure what it would be (i.e. a level in the bard class, knowledge of a certain lore-based spell, etc).@Angrydad - I applaud you for trying to keep some theme to your spellcaster's spell choices. I think it helps to define a character and shows maturity on the part of the player rather than just grabbing the "big guns" spells. Your justification for higher level spells is an intriguing one, but what would your DM do if a rogue stole your spellbook? How would he determine what spells might already be in there? Nevertheless, it's a good rationalization. @Michaelk - You are right. At higher levels, spell selection could entail a lot of dice rolling, but that should motivate the player to take at least some of his spells from his chosen domains or other domains in his deities portfolio. At low to mid levels I don't see it as much of a problem. If a player has a particular group of spells outside of his chosen domains that he regularly likes to pray for, he may want to spend a feat to add another chosen domain or favored domain in order to ensure himself more of those spells on a regular basis. I won't know how much of a problem it will be until we try it out. If it does turn into a bureaucratic pain, I may alter the house rule somewhat to allow the character to pray for and automatically receive his wisdom bonus in non-domain spells. In an extreme case, I could allow the wisdom bonus in non-domain spells for each spell level, but I doubt it would come to that.Thank you all for your thoughts. I certainly appreciate how it makes me think more objectively about my plans. Keep 'em coming!Gary</blockquote>
