::shrug:: It doesn't really matter. I just pulled that name out of an ethereal hat, basically. I almost went with "Exercised Ability" to show how the PC was practicing, but figured that sounded too much like it was only for Strength increases.
I also figured it's not a real feat, sort of like Speak Language isn't a real skill. It's more in the nature of a trade-in, I think. Not to mention a trade-off. |

Hmm...
I think it should still probably incorporate your suggestion that it should not be available to first level PC's. This is mainly due to it's potential to over-balance a character too quickly at lower levels.

I have a new feat to add. This is a minor reworking of a feat I designed for my Loremaster PC back when 3e was still new. However I have to convert the notes I have taken on the feat, so it may be a while before it is posted.

This is the basic feat. The notes are still to come -
Arcane Scholar [General]
Your PC is well versed in the intricacies of obscure arcane writing
Prerequisite: Scribe Spell
Benefit: Your PC is granted a +4 bonus on Spellcraft checks only when your PC attempts to identify glyphs, sigils, symbols, magic circles. Your PC also benefits from Decipher Script now being a class skill for the PC. If however the PC already utilises the Decipher Script skill then you now receive a +1 bonus to all checks.

I also have two Epic level feats in the works, but it may be a few days before they are posted, since I like to play-test all my feats, if possible before I post them.

| I don't know. Wouldn't this one be too much for a low-level character? A wizard could gain this at first level, no matter his/her race. |

Yes, I was thinking about that. I also thought about making the feat an Epic feat, but at the time of design, it just seemed right. I might add a level restriction though. I'll just wait and see how play testing goes tonight.

| Woa! I wasn't aiming that high. Loremaster as a prerequisite sounds good, but if you haven't playtested it, then why don't you try that first. |

Here's that new metamagic feat I was saying I'd make.
Entwine spell [Metamagic]
Your character has mastered the complicated art of casting more than one spell at a time.
Prerequisite: Dex 15+, any other metamagic feat.
Benefit: Your character can cast three spells in the same action, provided they were all modified by this feat. Alternatively, your character can cast two in the same action, provided at least one is modified by this feat.
The prerequisite Dexterity score is required during casting. Should your character be denied a dexterity bonus of this level for any reason, it is not possible to simultaneously cast any spells.
Your character must also beat a Concentration DC two points higher (if casting two spells) or five points higher (if casting three spells) than the normal check would entail, or loose all the spells that were attempted.
Each spell modified by this feat takes up one slot four levels higher than normal. |

I like it Bookwyrm, and it is perfectly balanced too. Good work.
I am working on some 'Fighter' feats, as a favor to a fighter player in my campaign. I will try and post them when I am done.

Thank you, Sage; I was wondering about the exact balancing act.
Speaking of balancing, I was going over my botched Sharpshooter feat. Do you think that it would be fixed if the benefit were changed so that the value added on would be one-fifth the amount of the extra attack (but no less than +1)? |

| Thanks. Combat-related bits are still a little confusing to me. One of these days I'll rewrite the feat, as a courtesy. Not right now, though. |

Human Wizard 9-2: Yes. I was hoping for more interaction from the other scribes here. Although I have noticed that Candlekeep has been a little 'empty' of scribes lately.

| I just noticed, a little while ago, that the ability-increasing "feat" I had suggested earlier actually exists in a source book. Only thing is, it's an Epic Feat. What do you think -- should we keep my suggestion, or theirs? |

Oh...I had completely forgotten. Now I remember why it seemed so familar earlier  . Anyway, considering the work you put into this feat, I think we should keep your suggestion that was posted here. Besides, my players preferred your working rather than the official material, so...

| I'm sure they did, considering they can get it at 3rd-level, rather than having to wait until 21st. Maybe it should just be that the Epic version replaces mine when the character becomes epic? |

Good suggestion. I was intending on running the epic feat in this manner anyway, since my players will soon be approaching Epic lvls most likely after the next series of adventures in my Silver Marches campaign.

| I don't have my PHB in front of me and I apologize if it's been suggested earlier in this thread, but is there a Multispell feat? If not, that would be a good feat. |

| There is a Multispell feat in the Epic list, as I recall. I saw it in there earlier as I was reading it idly. I don't know what it does, as I haven't read it and I don't have time to look it up right now.. However, from the name, it sounds a lot like my Entwine Spell feat, up at the top of this page. |

The 'Multispell' feat allows the PC to cast one additional quickened spell a round. You can gain the Multispell feat any numbers of times, allowing the benefits to stack.
However you must have quicken spell and the ability to cast 9th lvl spells as prerequisites for this feat.
