Hi.
I've a little problem in my current compaign with the Words of Creation from Exalted Deeds. I've asked to my players if one of them can take this feat, which will be very usefull in my campaign. Before exposing my problem, I think it's a good idea to explain the context of my campaign.
One century ago (in our previous campaign in fact), adventurers failed to save the world from Zatra, a powerful Necromancer that unleash the Evil from the Necronomicron in the world. After that, Zatra became a Lich and reign over this world of Evil and Chaos. But today, Zatra's powers are weaker and a new generation of adventurers will fight for Order and Good, attempting to take back the Necronomicon from Zatra's hands and sealing his Evil again.
In this context, I've imagine using the Words of Creation as a sign for defenders of Good to reconize each other. So adventurers need someone that know it to access to secret safe places and find ally in a totally hostile world. At the start, I was thinking that it wasn't an handicap because one of my players plays as a bard but they will start at 7th level. After seeing the bard's character sheet, I find that Words of Creation is weaker than I thought because he takes alternative class features and Words of Creation is only usefull for Inspire Courage and he plans to start a prestige class on the next level.
I've search in my books but I didn't find any improvement for the Words of Creation for bardic alternative class features and prestige class. Is there something else than what is in Exalted Deeds about Words of Creation or should I think to modify my campaign?
