[QUOTE="astriemer, post: 1658993, member: 19771"] [b]Metamagic Feats[/b] Did you intentionally leave out feats like Maximize, Empower, Extend, and Widen? I'm assuming so as functionally they are basically handled (all except Maximize at least) by just upping the power of the spell using the EoM rules as written. But I was curious just the same. Also, how, if at all, would you handle some of the other metamagic feats that are appearing such as the following: Energy Substitution (from Tome and Blood, Magic of Faerun and Miniatures Handbook) - for +0 levels you can substitude energy damage of any type to a specified type when the feat is chosen. Chain Spell (from T&B) - for +3 levels spell affects target and 1/2 caster level additional targets Delay Spell (from T&B) - for +3 levels the spell effect can be delayed by up to 5 rounds Energy Admixture (from T&B) - for +4 levels spell does additional damage equal to the original but from another energy type (specfied when the feat is taken) Subdual Substitution (from T&B) - for +0 levels spell does subdual damage instead of normal damage Split Ray (from T&B) - for +0 levels a ray can affect two targets (with each taking 1/2 normal damage) Consecrate Spell (from Book of Exalted Deeds) - for +1 level the spell gains the good descriptor and also 1/2 of the damage dealt is divine (and not subject to energy resistance) Purify Spell (from BoED) - for +1 level spell does full damage to evil targets, 1/2 damage to neutral targets and no damage to good targets Burrowing Power (from expanded psionic handbook) - for +2 power points and expending focus power can bypass some defenses Unconditional Power (fro EPH) - for +8 power points and expending focus the power can be activated even if unconscious or disabled Also, I didn't see anything to the contrary so am I correct that there is no damage dice cap on spells (as is 10d6 for example in the traditional system)?
