Energy substitution

[interwyrm]

It's been said that formians and slaads are sonic resistant, but I think in general it is morally neutral outsiders. Is it just noisy on those planes or somefink?

The monster manual 3 includes a wider selection of sonic resistant and immune critters.

Interesting.

Energy Substitution [Metamagic]
Prerequisites
Any other metamagic feat, Knowledge (arcana) 5 ranks.

Benefit
You choose one type of energy: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. When employing a spell with the acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic designator, you can modify the spell to use your chosen type of energy instead. The altered spell uses a spell slot of the spell’s normal level.

The altered spell works normally in all respects except the type of damage dealt.

Special
You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time the feat applies to a different type of energy.

Note that there is no prohibition on Sonic AND it is NOT a "Divine" feat. Interesting.

Energy Substitution (Ex)
An evoker of 5th level or higher using this variant can substitute energy of one type for another. When casting a spell that has an energy descriptor (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic), the evoker can change the energy descriptor and the spell's effects to energy of a different type.

Using this ability is a free action that must be declared before the spell is cast. The evoker can use this ability once per day for each five class levels he has attained (1/day at 5th, 2/day at 10th, and so on).

An evoker using this variant does not gain bonus feats for advancing as a wizard.

Again, no prohibition on Sonic. Interesting, no?

Deities and Demigods was a 3E book. It's the 3E version of the feat.

Not really. If you read the thread, we clearly differentiated between 3.0 and 3.5 versions of this feat. What SRD are you using?

Edit: and Hyp beat me to it.

And yet it is in the 3.5 SRD.

I am not making any comment about this being the controlling authority, I am just make an observation.

3.5

3.5

Well...it's wrong with regard to this feat, they haven't updated it to 3.5.

Everything takes precedence over web SRDs...even the FAQ.

The 3.5 version can be found in Complete Arcane.

If you'd like to discuss which takes precedence, I'm sure the mods would happily ban us both.

They updated Deities and Demigods to 3.5 with the update booklet. Since this feat was not modified, technically the feat is D&D 3.5 and obviously in direct conflict with Complete Arcane.

I wouldn't look at it as a case of precedence over the SRD. The SRD defines the d20 ruleset, while the books define the D&D ruleset. They are not the same thing at all. That said, until they release the Complete Arcane under the OGL, the only d20 feat is the one listed in the SRD -- which allows sonic.

Go figure.
