Message: <blockquote data-quote="kreynolds" data-source="post: 311937" data-attributes="member: 2829">Yes, it should, and it has been.I'm sure you're aware of Tenser's Transformation? It's also a 6th level spell, like your sample spell, and grants a Strength bonus of +2d4, like your sample spell. You could mulit-empower Tenser's Transformation nearly as effectively, though arguably, far, far more effectively than my spell. The reason why I added the +4 bonus (which doesn't increase with empower anyway, because it isn't a variable numeric effect), is because this spell offers only a strength bonus, whereas Tenser's Transformation also offers a +4 natural AC bonus, +1d6 temporary hit points per caster level (which would increase with empower spell), a +2d4 Dexterity enhancement bonus (which would also increase with empower spell), a +1 base attack bonus increase per 2 caster levels, a +5 competence bonus on Fortitude saves, and proficiency with all simple and martial weapons. The only drawback to Tenser's Transformation, and it's a big one, is that you can't cast spells, not even from magic items.To further balance this out, if necessary, I had considered shortening the duration of my spell. I was thinking of 1 minute/level.Yes. It reduces the cost of metamagic by 1 each time you take it (but no less than 1 for any given metamagic application). But you should keep in mind that my version will end up being an 8th or 9th level spell, so the cost to use metamagic on it will be more expensive. In other words, you could take Tenser's Transformation much farther with Empower Spell than you could mine.I thought about that originally, but the idea was to create a spell that scales up with power. Still isn't a bad idea though, and definately worth looking into, so if you wouldn't mind sticking around, I'd love to have your help on that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I would, however, like to finish this spell up as well. In the grand scheme of things, I think my spell is pretty balanced, even against a multi-empowered Tenser's Transformation, and I think that shortening the duration will finish it off quite nicely.</blockquote>
