Hi everybody!
I have a player who wants a new character. A shifter druid that will probably go into the Moonspeaker prc (Races of Eberron pg. 143.).
Now, the Augment Summoning at level 1 of Moonspeaker has me a bit worried. It's a strong feat even with the required useless Spell Focus (conjuration), getting it for free strikes me as a bit powerful. Combined with the Beast Spirit alternative class feature (RoE, 126), I can see the summons of the moonspeaker outshining the melee based party members.
Would it be reasonable if I would add Spell Focus (conjuration) to the requirements of the Moonspeaker or just remove Augment Summoning completely from the special features? Am I just being paranoid?
Additional information
This player's character will start at level 8. He will probably reach level 9 in 4-5 sessions. After that advancement might be a tad slower. I don't think my players will ever reach beyond level 15, so no need to worry about that.
The rest of the group are
-human barbarian 1/ranger 8 + 1 still undecided level
-halfling rogue 7 (who will go into shadow dancer)
-human barbarian 2/dragon shaman 6 + 1 still undecided level
-human scout 5/ swashbuckler 2/ dervish 1
The differences in level can be explained with new characters and character deaths.
(Disclaimer: yeah, yeah. I know straight druid is more powerful than combined with a prestige class. But still.)
