[QUOTE="LonePaladin, post: 3844808, member: 6963"] In my Age of Worms game, the party's archmage selected some; he currently has Empower Spell, Chain Spell, and Explosive Spell. To help him out, I've given him a customized spell list (sorted by school, as he's a specialist) that includes the modified spells at the appropriate levels. Since he's 19th level, that means he can cast an empowered explosive [I]cacophonic burst[/I] or a chained [I]disintegrate[/I] as a 9th-level spell. Granted, he's got much more powerful spells at that level (like [I]maw of chaos, reality maelstrom,[/I] and [I]time stop[/I]), but selective use of metamagic has had devastating effects when used properly. The party's cleric hasn't used metamagic at all, even though I pointed out that he can apply it to spontaneously cast [I]cure[/I] spells without preparation. It just means that he can't convert his highest-level spells into healing. My next campaign is going to include a sorcerer/wizard/ultimate magus, so he's going to [B]have[/B] to take metamagic feats to take advantage of one of his class abilities. [/QUOTE]
