Now, in our group we just hit lev 9, and my girlfriend is searching for a good feat to select. She's an oracle of pharasma, is a samsaran with the infested curse and the racial archetype for samsaran oracle with the occult mystery. Stats are: str 10 - dex 16 - con 12 (+1 8th lev and +2 belt) - int 17 - wis 13 - cha 22 (+4 headband, DM's custom intelligent item).
Feats until now: weapon finesse, reach spells, extra revelation, spell penetration.
We can use only the core sets (PHB, APG, UC, UM), and maybe something taken here and there, but stick on the base. Now, can you give an advice on what feat she could take? For the moment we're in hell, with the faerun cosmology (but the setting is golarion), and for what the sm said, we're come back to the material plane really near to the end of the campaign (around 13th-15th level), we need to get out the hell, and then we need to go to astral plane (our paladin was something like sex addicted, and the last time he's... "follow the scent", a bunch of gyth stole his super big badass weapon, that was gave to him by a great golden dragon), so this is the picture. She was toward the greater spell pen, but I was asking if there's something more valuable. Unfortunately, seems to be not much feats for a non combatant oracle. Any advice?
Did you consider metamagic ?
Persistent Spell is good if the character is based on save or suck spells.
Hmmmm. She's not the SoS type caster. She have a bunch of spells useful in various kind of situations. Like searing light and dispel magic, she has cure and inflict spells, invisibility and greater (via the alternate racial samsaran, she get the inquisitor spell list), and some other spells. She just taken Debilitating Portent as spell (and my hexcrafter has just taken misfortune hex :)), so she has a wide range of spells, a good bunch against udead, for bg reasons. In addition, for a spontaneous caster I think metamagic are not so efficient, due to the increased casting time. I was searching throug the feats, but I don't see anything that hit my sight... or her. I would suggest eldricht heritage, but it seems she's nt like it...
Weapon finesse is mainly for touch spells. She's not going often in melee, but when she do, she want to have a decent to hit. Extend spell could be viable, I think. And I'll try to get her in EH....
Reach Spell can save lives on someone with healing magic. Even as a full round action getting touch range cures and attack spells a level lower is often worth it.

Take Craft Rod.
This will give you access to ALL the metamagic feats.
Remember, you don't need the feat to make the rod (it just adds +5 to the caster level to make it if you don't have it). Also, you don't need to be 17th level to craft the rod AND you can take 10 on the roll.
So what you need to do is get your spellcraft skill up to a +22 and you can make any metamagic rod in the game.
Of course if you used INT as a dump stat, this might require some serious work to get it up there. Another option is to max out your craft (jewelry) skill and use THAT to make rods (I think that sould work). This allows you to apply crafter's fortune to the roll.
Hope that helps.
