[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 2861323, member: 1210"] [B]BLASTING SPELL (Metamagic)[/B] You can cast spells that blast enemies from their feet and do extra damage. [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Empower Spell [B]Benefit:[/B] Any spell that deals force, positive or negative energy, or any type of elemental energy damage can be affected by this feat. A blasting spell’s damage die type is increased by one (1 point to 1d2 to 1d3 to 1d4 to 1d6 to 1d8 to 1d10 to 1d12 to 2d8) and, if there is a cap on the number of dice of damage that the spell deals, it increases by five (if based on caster level) or two (if based on half caster level). A blasting spell that deals energy or force damage but normally can only target creatures can target objects as well. In addition, any creature that fails its save against the blasting spell is knocked prone. (If a blasting spell does not offer a save, a Reflex save is allowed to avoid being knocked prone.) Finally, a blasting spell ignores objects’ hardness. *** What should the level increase on this be?
