Every time you gain an even level in the spellcasting class you chose your spell from, you can choose a new spell to replace the spell selected with this feat, and that spell becomes your specialized spell.

So why take this feat four times? If you take it once, and maybe get Varisian tattoo to get a broad category bonus that should cover the same flavour and save a couple of feats. Not sure why you're getting still spell either - are you planning to wear armour?

There's a bunch of interesting metamagic feats you could get instead of the spell spec feats, or you could get spell penetration or even feats on pure flavour, and improved initiative or scribe scroll would be more use than still spell IMO.

I figured it would be nice to have multiple spells you were good at but honestly i knew going in something didnt feel right so if you got any other ideas i'd be more then willing to listen.


Like I said, Varisian tattoo. It gives you a +1 caster level bonus to an entire school (which should stack with spell spec.) One spell spec., two spell focuses & Varisian tattoo should be plenty IMO. You might drop one of the spell focuses too.

That leaves you 2-3 feats to mess around with. There's boring but practical greater spell focus. An novice spellcaster might find chaotic effects like tumultuous spell appropriate, or fleeting spell, and I think you're getting into blasting so selective spell and flumefire rage are worth a thought. Or there's working on concealing your spellcasting from observers, or point blank shot + precise shot if you like ranged touch effects, or a poorly-trained spellcaster might find an effect like primal bloom appropriate.

Edit: there's always something better than taking four of the same feat IMO.

Ok how's this look? A rather basic but effective style that i'd say scales pretty nicely.


Looks practical, yeah.
