New Caster Feat - Exotic Spells


Skills & Feats


I am sure someone else has had the concept for this feat many times over, but just in case it has not been mentioned here...

A new feat "Exotic Spells" that allows a caster to select a set number of spells from another type of magic. Perhaps a number equal to the casting attribute modifier. The feat would allow a character to select the determined amount of spells from the other type of spells. A wizard could select divine spells and a cleric could select divine spells. From that point on the spells are considered to be part of the character's list of available spells. The feat can be taken multiple times.

I think that would be a lot of fun. You could even have suggested themes like "White Necromany" that grants healing spells or "Gnome magic" that has a bunch of illusions.

The only problem is that you'd have to watch out for spells that appear on lower level lists. For example, mass charm is a lower level spell on the Bard list than on the Wizard list.


Could require that the spell not appear on the character's current list or lists. That should fix that issue.

It wouldn't. A cleric could still get a spell at a lower character level than a Wizard or Bard could, because the Bard's spell list hands out lower level spells at a higher character levels.


Having bards an own spell list is as stupid as giving them to rangers and paladins!

Make some signiture spells for them if needed, but one thing I always hated from D&D3rd was all those tons of spell lists. Especially when you look at the PrC! YUCK!
