<noinclude>{{3.5e Feat
|name=Forewarned is Foreguarded
|types=
|summary=Your knowledge of spells is extensive enough that you know the best way to resist virtually any spell (and those you don't know, you can learn on the fly). You also know how to put that knowledge to good use if pressed.
|prereqs=[[SRD:Spellcraft Skill|Spellcraft]] or [[SRD:Psicraft Skill|Psicraft]] 8 ranks
|fluff=You notice the enemy wizard's gestures and realize that he's casting [[SRD:Finger of Death|''finger of death'']]. As the black ray arcs towards you, you focus your life energy around your vital organs to shield them from the spell's effect. The ray strikes true, but you stay standing. You grin and say, "That was too easy", then promptly bring your foe down with a [[SRD:Phantasmal Killer|''phantasmal killer'']] before he can respond.
|benefit=You get a +3 insight bonus to Spell Resistance and Saving Throws against spells you successfully identify, except when you are flat-footed.

You can also use this feat to defend yourself from psionic powers in the same way.
|example=
|normal=Without this feat, identifying a spell or power being used against you does nothing to help you defend yourself against it (except for perhaps enabling you to counterspell).

There. Essentially the same. As one of the versions you had it at, anyways. --[[User:Foxwarrior|Foxwarrior]] ([[User talk:Foxwarrior|talk]]) 03:04, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

:...It is simpler, but I'm pretty happy with the feat the way it is. I suppose I could eliminate some of the prerequisites, but... no, I don't want to rework the psuedo-scaling all over again... *sigh* --[[User:Luigifan18|Luigifan18]] ([[User talk:Luigifan18|talk]]) 03:14, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

::It's not about the prerequisites. It's that when I have to present a lot of homebrew to the DM, it's a lot easier to present something that's three sentences long instead of three paragraphs long for the same thing. [[User:Surgo|Surgo]] ([[User talk:Surgo|talk]]) 03:23, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

:::Also, there's no really amazing way to sort through feats, so every time you make a character you have to read at least 10% of the feats at that balance point. Until you've essentially memorized every feat, I suppose. --[[User:Foxwarrior|Foxwarrior]] ([[User talk:Foxwarrior|talk]]) 03:28, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
