Tainted Sorcerer, I allowed the Eschew Materials feat to be slightly metamagic-y; it works as normal for components of 1 G.P. or less, and allows you to cast a more expensive spell material-free for a higher level slot; +1 for 50 G.P. or less, +2 if it's between 50 and 300, +3 up to 750 gold, and +4 for anything above that.  Again, has been far from extensively playtested, but hasn't seemed too bad in fairly lax casual play.  Feel free to take if it strikes your fancy, though.</blockquote>
