Why is One More Activation a lvl 4 feat?

Since the item you want to reactivate needs to be half your lvl you basically gains nothing from It till lvl6.

On the other hand, Scroll esotérica gives a 1st lvl scroll pero day at lvl 6, and an extra 2nd lvl at 8.

Swapping them seems logical, a single scroll at lvl 4, and reactivation of items at lvl 6 in order to be able to use It on some lvl3 items.


There are level 2 invested items with once per day activations.

Scrolls follow Scroll Trickster progression, and talismans follow Talisman Dabbler progression.

Are there? I was looking for something of that lvl for a lvl5 char I'm going to playtest and couldn't find anything. Could you share some of them?

I'm aware of that, but giving the scroll creation to the class supposed to be the expert of weird stuff a little before than the archetype doesn't seem too much.

But, my main concerm is how lackluster one more activation as a lvl 4 feat, specially since two other options have the uncommon trait.

That's a good point on the uncommon trait at that level. Anyway, Hat of Disguise for common items for now. Goz Mask stands out for the uncommon ones, but there are more.

Also there is more obscure things, maybe because english is not my native language, but when One More Activation asks for " has a frequency of once per day or more", does It means one or more per day or once per a period of time longer than a day? Could you activate each day Wondrous figurines like the onyx dog?
