Arcane Discoveries for other Classes?

[Viktyr Korimir]

How balanced is it to allow other classes to take arcane discoveries as feats? There are a number of them that seem like they should apply equally to other classes.

Weapon Specialization should apply to any martial class. Dedication and practice should allow a paladin or barbarian to access this feat. It makes sense...right?

I am against offering these abilities to other classes. They were set up as alternate class features for a wizard. They can be taken with the bonus feat at 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th as well as any other feat. Some are very nice abilities, but they are specific to the wizards thirst for knowledge.

I agree that they would make sense for other classes, however, just because it could/should, doesn't mean that it will.

Rule Zero is still the final authority though.

Absolutely! :)

Can't comment on the arcane discoveries. Haven't read them.

Personally I don't see why any caster including Divine and psychic couldn't take them as normal feats. The description reads that the abilities are a result of using your intellect to learn said abilities. Some are useful to any caster class not just wizards.
