[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1185145, member: 5777"] A lot of people here seem to like the flavor and are ok with the power while many others hate the power but seem to be more ambivilant about the flavor. Assuming you want to keep the flavor what would you do to the power of the feat? or what other negatives would you introduce? It seems to me that the character pays for this feat by spending a feat and putting a permanant geas on himself. Along with only getting the benefit from a few spells, plus the character not having full control over what those spells are. I've seen a lot of posts like this one but I dont really understand. The only reason this is so powerful is because spell focus is so weak. It is a better feat for new players as it greatly simplifies what gets saves. Most of the time it will effect less than half of the spells a character has memorized at any one time. ::shrugs:: Its been offered in every campaign I have fun, only one character has taken it. Multiclass fighter/sorcerer who needed too many good stats so had to take it with his 14 charisma. Everyone else 'always' had better feats to choose for their character concept. [/QUOTE]
