I think I starting to get the feel for the Feat system. As I progressed through the game I realized that I did not allocate the feats for my Characters very well. I have Spirit of Flame and Spell penetration. I respectfully disagree with your statement about the cold spells. I have Ice Storm, Ice lance and snowball swarm. I used the feat Aegis of Rhime early on and it did increase the damage done. This feat also gives (5% I think) permanent cold resistance.

I also missunderstood the skill system. If you assign skill points to a class and it is not part of what that class can do, You only get the equivalent of a half of the skill point. IE. Early in the game i assinged each of my chararcters a skill which I would load up on every timeI leveled up. Mr Ranger had Search, Cleric had wilderness lore. Rogue had HIDE and Lock pick. I gave my second tank Disable traps. He ahd 14 points assigned but in the later levels he could not disable a trap well because it was not part of the fighter class.

I am going to go through in HOF Mode with a different party and I hope to allocate my Feats and skills better. I must say I like the system overall.
