question about spellcasting prodigy feat

[HomerJS]

Does spell casting prodigy add +2 to abilty score, like if i had a wisdom of 16 does it make it 18, or does it make you mod go up 2. Like if your mod on wisdom was +3 does it make it +5. thanks for any help.

Neither. You treat appropriate ability score as two points higher for purposes of bonus spells and spellcasting DC.

Neither.

If you have a 16 Wisdom and are (say) a Cleric, with "Spellcasting Prodigy: Cleric" as one of your feats, then solely for the purpose of casting Cleric spells, you are counted as having an 18 Wisdom. This means your DCs are 14+level, instead of 13+ level. It also means you get slightly better bonus spells-per-day.

It does you absolutely no other good.

Whatever character you'll make, you'll end up playing 3 hours and getting killed by an elf.

Also, note that Spellcasting Prodigy is obviously *way* overpowered compared to the new 3.5 Spell Focus.

I'd say that's something of an overstatement. 3.5 Spell Focus (as far as I know) grants a +1 to save DCs from a single school. Spellcasting Prodigy grants a +1 bonus to DCs for all schools, and helps a tad with bonus spells. Certainly, Spellcasting Prodigy is stronger at 1st-level, but hardly "way overpowered."

And really, I'm guessing that most mages with access would opt to take both. Especially considering the new Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus.

Glad I'm not going to be using that version of Spell Focus .

Too bad I have to get Spell Focus twice to get the Archmage prestige class... And skill focus...

That really sucks.
