Adding [good] to spells
« on: September 22, 2012, 12:36:29 PM »
Spell Focus (good) is a nice feat. If one has a way to make one's spells [good]. Obviously, Consecrate Spell is the intended way to add the descriptor. And Aligned Spellcaster works wonders if the DM will allow Dragon material.

Are there any other ways to add [good], or any way to make Consecrate a +0 adjustment?

Ouch. 10th level substitution means staying in Wizard for a very long time.

It's that or the Dragon acf, unfortunately :(

The other option is Consecrate Spell with reductions, but I'm not an expert on all the reductions for metamagic feats, esp those that drop below +1. Check out the metamagic handbook for that.

Looks like Metamagic School Focus is the only thing that can reduce the cost to +0; still getting that three times a day isn't horrible.

And arcane thesis though it is specific to one spell....

I'll admit to finding Thesis tempting even though it's only one spell. Enervation is the one spell that comes to mind off hand, although it's not one that I'd bother Consecrating.

Are you looking at the Book of Exalted Deeds version of spell focus (good), which adds +2, or the Complete Divine Version, which adds +1? 

You can add the cold descriptor to spells with the snowcasting feat (Frostburn).  The cold focus feat (Frostburn) adds +1 to the DC of cold spells.  The draconic power feat (Races of the Dragon) can also add +1 to the DC of cold spells.

 >:( I didn't even realize that there was a CD version. I assume that the CD version is a newer, nerfed version? Because in that case, I'm not sure that I really want to spend two feats to get a +1 DC by increasing the spell level by 1 (I'd just heighten them instead).

The CD version is the newer one, yes.  +1 CL from two feats isn't worth it.

Although there is a chaotic version that can apply to all spells via some ability that makes all spells chaotic.  I forget the specifics though.

It's a feat (or ACF?) from Fiendish Codex I
