[QUOTE="Neoiceshroom, post: 5751550, member: 6674872"] I'm so glad you asked. We actually discussed this in the old DF thread, but it was over a year ago so I'm not surprised you'd forgotten. I had specifically worded IMM to exclude quicken spell,twin spell, chain spell and a couple of other powerful meta-magic feats from the feats it affects. I'm thinking on whether it should affect epic and divine level metamagic abilities at all, or if I should even allow them.Anyways, since improved metamagic doesn't affect quicken spell, it stays as counting the spells as four levels higher, or consuming four levels of automatic metamagic from improved spell mastery. Therefore the number of spells a god or epic caster is limited to their number of Improved Spell Mastery Feats divided by four, because even with IMM quicken spell still takes up 4 levels of automatic metamagic. Also, immortals or other beings with Time Dialation or other abilities that give them double actions would gain twice as many spells per round. Abilities that allow an extra standard action would allow one extra spell. As for Boccob specifically, he only has taken ISM 51 times (even with using anyfeat for another ISM feat) he still only has 51 levels of meta-magic. 51/4 = 12.75 which has to be rounded down to 12.
