Not Fighter

Hmmm, interesting concept, though I am concerned on how it borks with pre-requisite issues to PrCs. Then again I suppose this is similar to gaining a sorcerer level through kobold tricks, but that requires two feats and some gold expendature, and cannot be done until level 3. As is, this is much stronger than that.

Either way, especially since this is granting actual wizard spells above and beyond your level, this feat is no where near Fighter level. Wizard for sure, though a less sleepy mind would have to see if this is balanced period.

I am stupid, it's up to your HD. Good balancer. Might say it's rogue level still, but now I'm interested. Good concept.

Take it more than once?[edit]

Might I suggest adding in a line that it can be taken more than once so you can get more levels in off classes and get yourself up to par by throwing feats away?

And can it be taken in advance? Say I want to grab a level in something else, but want it to be on a level that isn't 1st, 3rd, 6th etc. and I don't want to be behind for a couple levels till my next feat comes along. Karuma 04:42, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
