Spellcasting Prodigy

How exactly does the Spellcasting Prodigy work now? Seems like the new spell system made this feat completely useless, as it got rid of the mana system. That is unless it now gives you an extra 1st level or so.

Spellcasting prodigy feat
=========================
You have an exceptional gift for magic.

This feat when taken first within the first 4 levels lets you cast more spells (it increases your mana).

This feat has no pre-requisites beyond the fact it must be taken before level 4.

It increases you INT

Giving you more spell slots and more bonus spell slots

Is this carried over if you had it before the change?

Yes... the more Int/wis/cha whatever depending on your class you have... the more bonus spell slots you have...

Do the int amulets stack then? Because my pc has prodigy and two of those amulets and it's not going up to the next tier

the amulets that you get for a quest... do not stack as far as I know.

What is your tier?

genius to omiscient

with two different colored amulets, and prodigy

I'm almost positive stat bonuses from items do not stack. It's like in 3rd ed where the only the highest bonus applies. So having two of the same item isn't going to do you any good.

I think Kilak's original question was, or at least this is a question I have, if you took spell casting protigy before the switch to spell slots, does it carry over? I took it on one of my wizards before the change and I'm wondering now if it's still there or not.

They must stack though, because if i put both on (as opposed to just wearing one and a comm amulet) I get 2 extra spell slots...suggesting it goes up 1, but not enough to get to omniscient.

So I'm sure they stack. But I have no way of testing whether or not spell prodigy ups your int, unless those two amulets push me to omniscient - but they don't.

Does that make sense?

Unless of course, it's Genius level +4 to get to omniscient

I see... well... i believe i posted somewhere that I wished we could see the score number next to the name... so we would have a more exact telling of how much one increases what and where...

Presently, item bonuses do stack, this is because of the old applies code. While tabletop has a wide selection of *types* of bonuses (sacred, luck, circumstance, enhancement, etc) the mud code, presently, does not have those distinctions, nor does it presently only apply the highest bonus when two magical items are "doubled up" so to speak.

That's not to say it always will be that way, but it is for now.

I don't see any problem with item bonuses stacking in fk - since the main purpose of bonuses not stacking has to do with ridiculous modifiers....but in FK we already have a relatively low ceiling for 3rd ed dnd, so that can't really become a problem in the same way.

So is spellcasting prodigy still in the "to be updated" portion of the feats, or does it do something besides bonus int?
