Now we won't get it for sure.
How many people would LOVE to see the Halflin' get it??
I know I would

[Jondallar]

Do it or the halfling gets to live.

Fixed it for you Asp

[MysticTheurge]

I think extra spell slot would just be way too powerful in DDO.

Does this mean I have to watch my back from now on?

[Aspenor]

Why?

[MysticTheurge]

Why?

Really? The spell-point system quite clearly makes this feat significantly more powerful than it is intended to be (and is in a spell-slot system).

The only thing really holding casters back in many cases is the fact that you kind of have to choose (sometimes) between a few good spells at a given spell level. What you'd be giving up in exchange for that really just doesn't compare to the extra power you'd get in exchange. This feat would quite simply be a no-brainer for almost every caster.

Yeah but think of what you might have to give up.

There would be definite risk/rewards for taking it v not taking it so it might not be a "no-brainer."

[MysticTheurge]

Yeah but think of what you might have to give up.

What are you giving up, exactly?

A wizard's not really giving up much of any thing.

A sorcerer's not giving up much considering the increase in power this gives him.

A cleric can probably even pull it off without losing much.

A sorcerer is losing a metamagic he could have taken, obviously. If this feat was implemented mine would not have Quicken, which I will take at level 18 if this one is not implemented.

Some sorcerers may choose to drop powerful feats such as Force of Personality for it as well.

What feats does your sorcerer currently have?

[Aspenor]

What feats does your sorcerer currently have?

Heighten, Maximize, Empower, Extend, Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration and Force of Personality. I think that covers it....

And what spell(s) do you want to pick up?

[Aspenor]

And what spell(s) do you want to pick up?

I don't know for sure....either web or mass suggestion.

[MysticTheurge]

And you really think adding another spell to your sorcerer's repertoire isn't a significantly large improvement in his already-generous combat capabilities?

You might restate that MT, you're speaking to Asp not someone that's actually accomplished anything in the game.


j/k Asp. Luv ya!

Feats are meant to be "significant" improvements.

I fail to see how asking for another option to add to power is wrong.

[MysticTheurge]

I fail to see how asking for another option to add to power is wrong.

Because it's significantly more powerful (thanks to the spell point system) than that feat is meant to be.

On top of the fact that spellcasters are more powerful (thanks to the spell point system) than they were meant to be.

On top of the fact that spellcasters are more powerful (even without the spell point system) than most other classes.

[Krago]

It would be the same as getting a "free level" for casters. To get those extra slots, you need more levels. Being able to get this ability from a feat would be a free level. That is how I see it being over-powered.

[MageLL]

I would think that only sorcs would actually use this feat. I seem to remember somebody else asking if they could trade out un-used spell slots for more mana or something.

As for the idea itself, as a wizard I would be a little upset if a sorc could get more spell slots cus I'd feel even more gimped with my 800+ less mana and extendo cast times. On the other side I also play a sorc and know that there are a few hard choices to make when selecting spells. I could go either way.

Good idea for discussion I think.
