PEACH: Spell Tenacity
« on: September 11, 2009, 01:18:02 AM »
Designer's Notes: Conjuration and Evocation benefit most immediately from these feats.  I thought of them when contemplating Sevenfold Veil's crappy prereq feats.

Spell Tenacity [General]
Effects: Each time you take this feat, select a school of magic such as Abjuration or Conjuration.  Spells you cast from this school are cast at +1 caster level.
Special: Spell Tenacity counts as Spell Focus of the respective school in terms of prerequisites.  You may take Spell Tenacity and Spell Focus.  If you use Spell Tenacity instead of Spell Focus as a requisite, any spell DC bonus from your chosen school applies to your caster level for that school instead.

Greater Spell Tenacity [General]
Prerequisite(s): Spell Tenacity
Effects: Each time you take this feat, select a school of magic for which you have taken Spell Tenacity.  Spells you cast from this school are cast at +1 caster level.
Special: Greater Spell Tenacity counts as Greater Spell Focus of the respective school in terms of prerequisites.  You may take Greater Spell Tenacity and Greater Spell Focus.  If you use Greater Spell Tenacity instead of Greater Spell Focus as a requisite, any spell DC bonus from your chosen school applies to your caster level for that school instead.
Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

I like it, but parts of it seem to be worded strangely. I get the idea you were trying to head off some abuse, but your explaination didn't come through perfectly clear. What does this part mean, exactly?

But I definitely like it. I've always hated having to take SF: Conjuration as a prereq for Augment Summoning. This would be a lot better.

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

Seems fine to me.  Most likely Spell Focus will be the feat of choice for necromancers, enchanters, and illusionists, while Spell Tenacity would be better suited to conjurers, abjurers, and transmuters, while evokers might do well to pick up both (and diviners probably neither of them). 

There would probably be a slight power slide up for casters, but IMO that's better than needing a useless Spell Focus (Abjuration) to get into a good PrC, for example.
