Favored Spell: The Militant Wizard chooses a spell that he can cast. Whenever the Militant Wizards either memorizes or casts(wiz or sorcerer respectively)that spell, the spell is automatically altered as though through the Empower Spell metamagic feat. The slot level it occupies does not change. Once the spell is chosen it cannot be changed. If the Militant Wizard is a specialist wizard, the spell must be chosen from their specialized school.
Iron Mind: When calculating number of spells and saving throw DC�s, treat the Militant�s Intelligence or Charisma(Wiz and Sor respectively) as 2 points higher. This does not stack with any other feats or abilities that grant similar bonuses, ie. Spellcasting Prodigy.
Arcane Combat: The Militant may now use his Int or Cha modifier(wizards and sorcerers respectively) instead of his Str when calculating bonus to hit in melee. This can only be used with the weapon he has Weapon Focus in.
Improved Combat Casting: The Militant now adds +6 to his Concentration checks when casting on the defensive. This supercedes Combat Casting.
Steel Mind: As Iron Mind, save treat their scores as 4 points higher instead of 2.
