Hello, playgrounders! I'm looking for feedback on the following feats I made for dragonmarked spellcasters. For each feat, I tried to give the broadest possible benefit while still focusing on the identify of each of the twelve dragonmarks. If you think a feat is too weak or too strong, or if you think a different effect would be more appropriate to a particular mark, I welcome your comments and/or critiques. Also, I'm open to suggestions for the effects of the four dragonmark feats I have yet to make -- those corresponding to the Marks of Finding, Healing, Hospitality, and Passage.
