[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 2504829, member: 1134"] there should be some change to on of the feats. Chain spells just target reqiurement at least gives an excuse for its incredibly high cost of +3 spell levles. There isn't an excuse for the high PP cost of chain power though. Just as a minor point of illustration lets look at the only chain spell I know of in the game. Chain lightning, level 6 1d6 a level max 20d6. Now then lets go 3 levels lower to level 3 and lets chain some attack spell that doesn't exist what will it be. Lets see level 6 1d6 per level caped at 10d6. Hey what a great idea, why don't I spend a feat in order to make my spells weaker. Now since the spell version can effect nondamaging spells we can do things like chain greater magic weapon, and maybe a couple of other cool effects to make it sueful. A chained charm person(or other save or die spell) might not suck, I mean law of averages wise the DM has to screw up a roll sometime so even against a pathetic save Dv like you'll get with chain spell someone will fail the save if there are enough targets.
