    Yes. A feat from a TSR published, 1995 book. A feat that is, by current game standards, poorly written and poorly balanced. Look at the other level 1 feats: is there ANY reason to take them over this one? No. Nothing else offers anything as potent. I can take, for two prerequisites, a feat that allows me a new save each round to throw off a negative level. This has next to no prerequisites, offers complete immunity to Energy Drain, and other benefits as well. Overpowered.

    Some feats just shouldn't exist. It's a well known fact that WotC, TSR, and so forth don't balance everything nicely--compare the Wizard to the Fighter, for example.

    An official source does not automatically mean balance, nor does it mean good design practices.

    That said, I'm done here. If you don't want help balancing something, I'm not going to continue to try.

    Best of luck.
