[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 1186246, member: 891"] If we put it in those terms, Sorcerous Pact gives a total +40. They've got lists in the book for the [b]player[/b] to choose what spells it gives a bonus to. Spell Focus will give -at least- +10, but likely more. I would say it's the wrong way to look at it. Note that this feat is only available to sorcerers, not wizards. Memorization is a moot point in terms of balancers for this feat. I would personally argue that Spell Focus is more powerful in the hands of a Sorcerer than a Wizard -because the Sorcerer is likely to use it more often. By contrast, the old version of Spellcasting Prodigy was equally powerful in the hands of a Sorcerer or Wizard - as it applied to all spells from a chosen class. Note that Sorcerous Pact applying to 10 spells is actually applying to roughly 1/4 of all the spells a Sorcerer will ever have. That can easily thus apply to every spell they take that has a save DC which is 'save or spell works' rather than just 'save to weaken the spell'. [/QUOTE]
