Questions regarding Bonus feats which are banned


Pathfinder Society


Where is the list of replacement feats that each class can choose if they have a banned feat.(ex. Wizard who gets a bonus feat at lv5)
Is it only selectable from spell mastery, metamagic, and arcane discovery, or are there different options like how Wizards gain spell focus for scribe scroll?

You're asking what wizards get since they can't choose crafting feats for their bonus feats? As far as I know, nothing. You only get 2 in PFS anyway, so it's not too hard to find something you like.

You get to pick from all of the other normal selections for wizards at level 5 that aren't item creation feats. There are no replacements for lost item creation feats. The general design consensus seems to be that if you have an alternative that is available that is not on the additional resources list, then the powers that be do not provide any other alternatives.

There really are plenty of choices, though. All the metamagic feats... and if you don't want those, there is Spell Mastery, and the Arcane Discoveries. Still, I am planning on getting Extend Spell with my 5th level... it is just to useful.

I grabbed Fast Study at lvl 5 (pretty useful, and by then you have a lot of spell slots). At 10 you could take Opposition Research and "unopposed" one of you're opposed schools, or grab a metamagic. Personally, I have a fun RP idea in the works of what happens when my illusionist finally breaks through one of them >=D

Fast Study, Opposition Research and the one that lets you speak with animals is great!


True name isn't banned? So level 11 wizards get infinite wishes?

True name is banned. Toppling spell is a nice metamagic feat though. Make your magic missiles into trip attacks in addition to damage.

does toppling really scale well against target cmd?

I've seen people saying it works and I've seen people saying it doesn't work, particularly at higher levels.

If it was going to work it seems like it would be the most effective vs arcane casters, which also have the greatest likelihood to have shield active.

Your CMB for the trip attempt is Caster level + Spell Casting ability, so if you are level 5 and have 20 INT, then your CMB will be +10 for the attempt. You can shoot one missile at each enemy and get a shot at tripping each one. Your chance of successfully tripping them is probably less than 50% at that level, but some enemies are quite easy to trip. Low BAB spellcasters for example.

If somoene wants to be an invoker, i point them to the magical liniage/ tripping spell combo. Its pretty nasty at level 1.
