Prime32 09-16-07, 02:03 PM	Now part of the Tome of Secrets (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=901841) EDIT: Added Psionic Study to complement Magic Study EDIT: Added Divine Strike, even though it doesn't fit the theme :P Eldritch Barrage [General] Prerequisites: Eldritch blast 3d6 Benefit: You gain access to a special blast shape invocation – eldritch barrage. This invocation allows you to use your eldritch blast as a ranged weapon instead of a spell. Among other things, this allows you to make a full attack with it. While using this invocation, your eldritch blast deals one third of its normal damage dice (round down) and the DCs to resist additional effects are reduced by 2. Eldritch Ki Focus [General] Prerequisites: Eldritch Barrage, Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist Benefit: You may treat your eldritch barrage as a monk weapon, allowing you to perform a flurry of blows with it. Magic Study [General] Prerequisites: Spellcraft 5 ranks Benefit: Select one arcane spell of a maximum level equal to half your character level. You may cast that spell as a sorcerer of half your class level a number of times per day equal to half your character level divided by the spell's level. Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time, you must select a different spell. You may take the Practiced Spellcaster feat to increase the caster level of all spell-like abilities gained from this feat. Magic Study [General] Prerequisites: Spellcraft 5 ranks Benefit: Select one arcane spell of a maximum level equal to half your character level. You may use that spell as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to half your character level divided by the spell's level. Your caster level is equal to half your character level. Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time, you must select a different spell. You may take the Practiced Spellcaster feat to increase the caster level of all spell-like abilities gained from this feat. ^ Yes, I know. It's inspired by the Martial Study feat from ToB. But the "good" spells won't have high saving throws, so it's not as bad as it seems. Psionic Study [Psionic] Prerequisites: Psicraft 3 ranks Benefit: Select one psionic power of a maximum level equal to half your character level. You may manifest that power as a psion of half your class level a number of times per day equal to half your character level divided by the power's level. Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time, you must select a different power. Divine Strike [General] Prerequisites: Ability to cast 3rd-level divine spells, base attack bonus +4 Benefit: When you activate this feat (a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity), you can channel divine energy into a melee weapon, your unarmed strike, or natural weapons. You must sacrifice one of your spells per day (of 1st level or higher) to do this, but your attacks deal 1d8 points of damage x the level of the spell sacrificed to opponents with an alignment opposed to yours for 1 round. For example, Jozan is a good-aligned cleric with the ability to cast 4th-level divine spells. On his turn, he chooses to sacrifice one of his 4th-level spells for the day, marking it off as if he had cast it. Until his next turn, Jozan deals +4d8 points of damage against evil foes with a single melee weapon of his choice (his mace).

Magic study doesn't seem too bad, at level 18 they could choose a level 9 spell and use it once a day, so I don't see a real reason to fret over it. Though i would add in that any exp or similar cost would still apply (taking wish and permanency into consideration).

Well, you could still get some pretty good (and abusable) things out of it. Such as Timestop, Dominate Monster, or Mordenkainen's Disjunction 1/day. Heh, and if you get stuck in jail you could have Magic Study (Etherealness) to get out...

Prime32 09-17-07, 01:25 PM	What about this version then? Magic Study [General] Prerequisites: Spellcraft 5 ranks Benefit: Select one arcane spell of a maximum level equal to half your character level. You may cast that spell as a sorcerer of half your class level a number of times per day equal to half your character level divided by the spell's level.

Manus 09-17-07, 07:49 PM	With regards to the eldritch ki focus, since the feat specifically mentions turning the eldritch barrage, and not the eldritch blast, into a monk weapon... I have to ask, how do you flurry with a ranged weapon?

I have to ask, how do you flurry with a ranged weapon? IIRC you can flurry with shruikens, If I'm correct then I don't see any reason you couldn't flurry with eldritch blast.
Eldritch_Lord 09-19-07, 09:00 PM	IIRC you can flurry with shruikens, If I'm correct then I don't see any reason you couldn't flurry with eldritch blast. You can indeed flurry with shurikens: When using flurry of blows, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with special monk weapons (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham). Emphasis mine.
Fafnir 09-20-07, 01:51 PM	Reeeeeeally nice. Psionic Study should have the [Psionic] descriptor, though.
Sleepwalker13666 09-20-07, 08:54 PM	You mentioned you where interested in a different name for Psi-Study, how bought "Psionic Clarity"?
