Wow, they really buffed that spell. The original was 7th/8th level and only lasted 1 round/level.

No kidding. How would you like a Cleric Domain power, and 3 6 times per vist cast spells from said Domain regardless of what class you are? Heck, pick a Domain with Planeshift and you can recharge it by your self. Instantly any Fighter has a set of extremely limited, but still frigging awesome, Cleric Spells to cast.

Or maybe you are a Cleric. Think you can make a DC 25 Balance check (hint, use spider walk)? If so, free 1 2 1/day Resurrection if you die assuming you keep recharging it. Bonus uber DR 1 too.

I fixed that for you; you did take this feat, right?

Planar Touchstone (Catalogues of Enlightenment), its higher order ability. WARNING: it is only vaguely mentioned; the rules governing its use are non-existent, it simply states you get to cast like a Cleric. Use only if you have a GM willing to work with you for it.

Reference material: Planar Handbook and Sandstorm > pages 41-42, 153-154, 166-167 and 53-54 (8) > the Touchstone feats, touchstones introductions, and the "The Catalogues of Enlightenment" planar touchstone http://imageshack.us/g/502/san54tssiteshrnatkahar.png/

Phase Door, in core, lasts until used. You can pepper your halls with this thing, casting it during downtime, and then if/when combat breaks out, you can basically walk through all the walls you want. It also serves as a wonderful hiding place, as unless you are ejected via a successful dispel, you're on the ethereal plane inside a solid material object's location, which makes it hard to be attacked. Think of it as a location-linked contingent Ethereal Jaunt with multiple uses that you can bring your friends through.

That same issue has a section called "Racial Transformations" detailing several sub races, most of which gain bonus feats (dwarfs get a bonus feat as a human, Elves get 2 Weapon Focuses (one melee, one ranged), Gnomes get Alertness (ooh  :rolleyes), and Halflings get Dodge and one of Iron Will, Great Fortitute, or Lightning Reflexes.  Humans trade their bonus feat for +2 to one ability score.
I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

Dragon 304 has some nice feats on pages 83-85. I especially like the throwing feats.
There are four:
Heft:1.5 Str to damage
Windup:Effectively power attack with thrown weapons
Rout:Free bull rush on any attack with thrown weapons(5ft max), great with an AOO build in the party
Bowl Over:Free Trip on any attack with thrown weapons
The article also has Dead Eye which is Dex to Damage with ranged weapons within 30'

The voice of the mage feat (Dragon 359, p125) allows you to speak and be heard by all creatures within a mile.  The possibilities for screaming obscenities are truly staggering, but it could also be used with diplomancy or bardic music.  Unfortunately, it requires an arcane caster level of 16.

If you're a DN planning on becoming a Necropolitan, you should look into the Bloodtouched Rite (PGtE, pg 23).  It doesn't say whether you can benefit from it more than once, but even if you can't then it's still a great find: bonus hp = cha bonus, and +1 CL with necromancy spells. (other, less interesting effects as well.)

The Hashalaq Ancestor feat (PGtE, pg 83) gives psion manifesting to an otherwise non-manifester [1 1st-level power only], not as a psi-like ability but actual manifesting.  Could be nice for getting into psionic prcs with crappy manifesting progressions.

Could use a bit of an update to 3.5 though.  Brutal Throw makes a thrower SAD on strength and leads into Power Throw which is the same as Windup there but with more prereqs.

Bards get full CL though, right?

CAN you enhance a rod with Aptitude?  Or anything, for that matter?

Would it get double benefits from things, since it would affect it twice? Or even three times with the War Domain organization?
