NEW: Master of Alignment – Minimum level 24: Your Holy Smite, Deific Vengeance, Unholy Blight, Chaos Hammer, and Order’s Wrath spells get +10 to their Maximum Caster Level.Grants +140 Maximum Spell Points

While I appreciate this feat ... I must plead the case of adding Flame Strike to whichever Master's feat will carry Holy Smite. Every other Master's feat for the most part includes a tier 5 enhancement SLA ... in this feat Holy Smite is the only SLA and the rest are based off of Caster level/2 for the most part. If these other spells were SLAs, this would be a different story; however, again I feel divines are getting the shaft in that their tier 5 SLA is not included ...

For instance ....

Master of Earth: Tier 5 Acid Blast 1d3+3 = Base damage 5, Spell point cost 6, Cooldown 6 seconds
Master of Fire: Tier 5 Fireball 1d3+3 = Base damage 5, Spell point cost 6, Cooldown 6 seconds
Master of Artifice: Tier 5 Lightning Motes 1d3+3 = Base damage 5, Spell point cost 6, Cooldown 6 seconds

Flame Strike: Tier 5 1d3+1d3 = Base damage 4, Spell point cost 20, Cooldown 12 seconds

So as you can see, the base damage is actually less, spell point cost is more, and cooldown is longer ... at least throw Divines a bone and add Flame strike because that is all we really have as a tier 5 SLA at this point.

Looking greensteel all over.

Fire, cold, acid, electric, positive, negative

Big bonuses on weapon to stats

ect

This is tradition and makes sense to me.
It makes TF (that has force, sonic, etc) different from greensteel.

However, I will ask for a bone for divine and explain why:


Master of Alignment was Holy Smite, Chaos Hammer, Order's Wrath, Unholy Blight, Defict Vengence
I will point out that is only two good spells in most dungeons, because most dungeons have an alignment pattern.
Trust me, I have had divines with all four of the level four alignement spells and typically I only cast one of them.
So, please throw divine a big bone and add Flamestrike to the Master of Alignment while leaving the other five spells already in the feat still there.

Building a Favored Soul, I have found there is definitely room to take two Master of ____ feats in such a build.

Thanks for listening.


PS I sure would like to see:

Tome of Epic Destiny Points (add +1 point to spend in epic destinies per plus)
Tome of Enhancement Points (add +1 point to spend in enhancement per plus)

Even if they only went to +2 or +3 it would be a nice addition to the game w/o too much power creep.
Make sure they drop in game as well as DDO store.
