Good feat choices for Transmuters


Advice


I recently got the Legacy of the First World book and am delighted with much of it, especially the shapeshifter sorcerer and bloodrager bloodlines.

I am thinking of creating a sorcerer with that bloodline, but I have a question: what would be some good feats for a spellcaster specializing in transmutation magic? I have some idea for the basics -- Spell Focus, Tenacious Transmutation, Spell Specialization (+2 caster level on all level-variable effects is great, and it stacks with metamagic feats), Extend Spell, etc., but what else?

Help would be appreciated.

You may want the Trait Transmuter . It is as strong as a feat for you giving all transmutation spells +1 CL and Extends an Animal buff 1/day.

Thanks, that is helpful.


Energy attunement :) avr suggested it to me a while ago so I'm passing it on in case they don't see the thread.

Other metamagic feats you might consider (depending on whether you expect to do more buffing or debuffing) are:

Bouncing Spell - The first target making the save redirects the spell to another target of your choice.
Persistent Spell - Force target to save twice.
Reach Spell - Many transmutation spells require touching, and it's not always easy or desirable to be that close.
Vast Spell - Don't you just hate it when you have to choose which targets to affect with Haste because some are more than 30 ft. apart? Well, what if I told you they could be 60 ft. apart for the low, low cost of one additional spell level?

Agreed! This trait is really a shorted feat, or GM rating it as a 4, the trait/feat overlap in her game. She doesn't allow specialist Wizards, so she gave it a +1 to DC to make it a feat.


Thanks for the new advice everyone.
