[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 7921036, member: 72555"] This is already a sorcerer stealth-buff. Both because of still spell (allowing counterspells to be cast at the same time as other spells) and other metamagic working really well with this. The quicken, cast, quicken pattern gets 3 spells off over 2 rounds (one #BOOMBIGGEN ed). Among other things, this means the sorcerer can interrupt enemy spellcasting really easy. It does change the tactical situation with spellcasting. Ambushes become important. Failing that, having a defensive line matters a lot. Warcaster and Constitution proficiency is awesome. I do understand this changes spellcaster gameplay significantly. It is interesting that it does so in ways that make spellcasters both better and worse. --- Anyhow, as people have said they would prefer this as an option instead of a requirement, how about a feat? [B]Focused Spellcasting[/B] [I]Requires: ability to cast at least one spell[/I]. When you cast a spell that requires 1 action to cast, you can choose to focus and increase its casting time to two actions. You can concentrate on this spell cast at the same time as concentrating on maintaining another effect. If your concentration is broken while casting, the spell fails and any spell slot you used is lost. However, if you finish casting a spell you have focused on, the spell is more powerful. All saving throws against the spells effects are at disadvantage, you have advantage on all attacks the spell grants, and damage dice from the spell are doubled in number. [/QUOTE]
