[QUOTE="Sethvir, post: 4445662, member: 32786"] And I am going to resurrect this thread once again. I just started playing a shadowcaster in a new campaign I just joined. Been very interesting so far. The character has made a difference in the way combat flows, particularly when encountering large groups. He has become a battlefield control expert. Rooting foes in place, directing them around areas becasue they are aflame, etc. I just used Shadow Vision last night followed by Killing Shadows to maximum effect, as the character is 9th level, and dealt nearly 40 points of damage on each of two attacks. Anyway, so the question I had isn't really related to this, but rather to Feats and interactions with Mysteries. On page 138 under Mysteries and Paths, talking about the characteristics of Mysteries, it states in the very last bullet that Mysteries cannot benefit from feats that enchance spells, such as metamagic feats. The corollary to this is that for the Shadowcaster in the Bonus Feat section it states that the list of bonus feats includes any metamagic feat. But if I am a mystery caster, and mystery's don't benefit from Metamagic feats, what's the point of having metamagic feats available as bonus feats? Or am I missing something? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
