i do agree that the feats represented above do not help much with the higher end balancing, however i find that at low - mid lvls the little extra damage and the little extra mobility are very very useful.

but yes its a serious balance issue and i for one dont want to take the approach of "nerf the casters".

i mean spellcasters do have a certain feel about them that should not be destroyed, by changing it too drastically.

one of my friends believes that the solution lies in powerful higher end feats? or are these classes doomed to be prestiged when they hit the higher end?
