The Reactive Charm feat from Captivator has a great feel to it. Conceptually, the ability for a skilled caster to turn away violence with a few well-timed words (of power) is just really cool. It plays well with a lot of old-school fantasy lore, but how can it be best used?
Frequency: Once per Day
Trigger: You are the target of a spell or attack.
Effect: You're so charming and distracting that when pressed, you can cast a simple enchantment in time to foil an attacker. You cast (as a Reaction) any of your 1st-level enchantment spells that normally take two actions or fewer to cast. This takes effect before the triggering spell or attack, and if the attacker is affected by your spell, it can make different decisions based on the effects (for instance, if you charm the attacker and it becomes friendly to you, it can choose a different target than you for its attack or spell)...
1) Charm and Sleep are probably the intended use, but those are Incap. so odds of success may be slim. Also works with Fear and Befuddle, maybe those are a better use?
2) What creative applications are there?
3) Does "1st Level Enchantment spell" include 1st level cantrips (assume not)?
4) How about 1st level Enchantment Focus spells? If so, would it be auto-heightened as usual?
Thanks for your thoughts
