Phantasy Star: Eternal Story - Feats

A special luxury one has as one gains levels is the acquisition of new feats. These abilities can mean life, death, or extremely efficient kills in certain situations. They can mean a new use of an old skill, or just plain old pumping up.

NOTES: Item Creation

Using Item Creation feats costs 1/25 of the created item's price in EXP.

Raw Materials: Rather than costing 1/3 to create an item with a Feat, it costs 1/2 the price.
Cost: When inducing an item with spells and spell-like effects, remember that they produce these effects as though cast by a spellcaster of your level. Remember 0 level spells are determined as a spell level of 1/2 for this purpose.
Scrolls: Spell level x caster level x 40
Potions: Spell level x caster level x 20
Wands and other items: Spell level x caster level x 625 (These have 50 charges)

NOTES: Metamagic and Metapsionics

A spell or technique modified by a metamagic or metapsionic feat has an inflated EP cost. The cost is expanded by +2 for each star.
