Not a rules lawyer but I think Heighten would affect Counterspelling. Heighten is different from reg. Meta-magic feats in that it actually increases the spell level(i.e a Fireball heightened to 6th level IS a 6th level spell). Where as other metamagic feats just make a spell use a higher...

Oh I agree- Heighten would never have been my first choice as a feat. I just meant I could see it having some uses.

Can't speak for the Stronghold book but Forgotten realms has a Create Portal feat and rules for making portals.

I can't say the feat is great but I don't think it sucks either. Using it to get a big plus to Dc isabout the best use for it. If you heighten some 2nd or 3rd level spell to 9th level, you gained a +6 or +7 to the Dc. Granted most 2nd or 3rd level spell don't do enough to warrant using a 9th...

Thats about it. It raises the spell to whatever level you Heighten it to. Better Dc's, gets by Minor Globe Invunability, certain monsters maybe immune to say 1st thru 5th level spells-so you can Heighten one to 6th and be able to effect them.

I agree just use the 3.5 rules for Tower shields. They give a +4 Shield bonus to Ac, but you get a -2 to hit while wielding one. If you decide to claim cover-you get 100%-but you CANNNOT attack at all then.

Not sure what you are trying to say or do with Heighten(2 levels)? Fireball is a 3rd level spell - As such its Dc for saves is 10+level(3rd)+stat, so its 13+stat. If you Heighten it to 4th level-it now IS a 4th level spel-uses a 4th level slot, has DC of 14+stat. In this case you raised spell...

Agreed-I have never understood why people think Heighten spell is used at +1 level at a time. You use it once, the cost is variable, depending how much you Heiten the spell.

Thanks Olgar. Thats what I was looking for-the place he had said that.

Well if Stalker0 is Andy thats great-but I have seen alot people copy and paste comments from Andy's Boards and his Name shows up like that in them all(see posts by Paladin-his show up that way when he's quoted Andy's boards also). I have seen Andy say he almost always posts under his name. So...

I would like to know which thread has that response from Andy Collins. I went to the thread where Psifon asked that question,HERE -there is no reply from Andy on that thread. Unless it was asked and answered somewhere else, can someone point out which thread its in.

Sorry but thats incorrect-NOWHERE does it say that when you Heighten a spell by 3 levels that you are doing 3 +1's. In fact the FAQ( as Hypersmurf showed) says different. If you use Heighten spell to raise a spell 3 levels-you have used Heighten spell ONCE at a +3 level. So YES you can use...

No. But if its NOT continous-then it HAS to have a duration. Does it give one in the item desciption? No. But it says "EXACTLY as if Spell Turning had been cast on wearer". So we go check Spell Turning-Duration is 10 min/level OR until discharged. Since items use their caster level=15th times...

DMG Page 192. Under Rings-Activation. It says most rings are COMMAND activated, if they offer continual benefits they say so in the desciptions. Go thru the rings in the DMG-the ones that give a continual benefit say so-literaly-they have the word "continual or continous" in the desciptiption...

I think he wanted a continual spell turning item-Ring of spell turning isn't continual-its command activated. Granted you can activate it-it lasts 150 min. or until turns it spell levels, then you can reactivate it again. Continual Spell turning would be pretty expensive.

I can say I have never seen anyone use a feat to take Delay Spell thats for sure. I was thinking about the feat one time and its uses.... Have a Cleric cast Sanctuary, then cast spells with Delay Feat-Now if you cast a attack spell with Delay-does Sanctuary end immediatly? or when the spell...

We found almost all Metamagic is infinetly better in the hands of a Sorcerer. Almost every sorcerer in our games takes as many Metamagic as they can-SSEE as it goes. Still and Silent usually first, followed by Extend and Empower. A Sorcerer with Still and Silent has ALOT of freedom. Get...

I can't say for how playtested it was but I don't think it was a rule change-it was a clarification. Metamagic was supposed to stack but wasn't spelled out clearly is what emails from the Sage and other 3.0 designers seem to say. Gideon is correct also, if you don't have DBF you would use a...

Actually it DOES say you can apply the same Meta-magic feat more than once. Go to the WotC page and check the Official FAQ-page 22. It explicitly says you can apply the same Metamagic more than once-you just add the levels up-so a Double Empowered Fireball does +100% Damage and uses a 7th level...

Thanks Shadowstar-see your on right now as well if you got time.. The Sorcerer question-did you mean the level they get new spell level was identical as 3.0, or identical to the wizards? I think we are on 175 lol 175. Do they have better description for Wall of Force and creating a globe to...
