Combat Casting says the -4 penalty is for casting within four meters of an enemy. Concentration says it's within three meters. Does anyone know which is correct? (The in-game descriptions agree with this contradiction.) --The Krit 12:17, 19 Nov 2005 (PST)

The in-game description is a little bit different: it says: The character is adept at casting spells in combat, and does not suffer the standard -4 penalty to Concentration checks when casting defensively within four meters of an enemy. Just one word but... I usually don't play spellcasters so I usually don't take the feat and I don't know what the feat really does. Anyone else?--Kamiryn 13:23, 19 June 2006 (PDT)

A short test indicates that the in-game description is correct and the description from the manual is wrong (or lacks the important word defensively), there is no -4 penalty unless you're casting defensively. So the feat is useful only if you (sometimes) cast defensively. If you never cast defensively the feat is useless.
