Magus new focus spell [Clever Positioning]


Homebrew and House Rules


Clever Positioning

Quote:


Feat level: 4
Traits: Magus, Move, Uncommon
Cast: Verbal ( Every conflux spell is verbal, because of the recharge requirements )

Description: You nimbly move on the battlefield, getting yourself into a more suitable position.
Effect: Stride up to half of your speed. This movement does not trigger reactions. At the end of the movement, recharge your spellstrike.

Heightened 7: You can use Clever Positioning while Burrowing, Climbing, Flying, or Swimming instead of Striding if you have the corresponding movement type.

How does it seem to you?

It looks really useful to me. It's a focus spell I'd want to have.

The power level looks reasonable to me, the level 4 feat slot has some serious competition going on.


I think that's feat level is too high once the focus spell is basically a Mobility variant way more restricted because mobility can be repeated while you have actions to Stride, this focus feat never will used twice in a roll due recharge and the focus points already "pays" the free recharge embed in the action.

It's make more sense as a lvl 2 feat. And I also sugest to remove the Heightened effect and turn it as a natural effect of the spell at any level of it just like already happen in Mobility.

Thank you both!

YuriP you made an excellent evaluation.
I can say for sure I agree on both modifies.
