He would be a bit less powerful than a mage of equivalent level, but his spells would be faster/bigger/more damaging. So, for further thought on this subject:************************Metacaster10-level prestige classPrereqs: Spellcraft 8 ranks; Knowledge (arcana) 8 ranks; ability to cast 3rd-level arcane spellsBAB, saves: As wizardHD: d4Skill Points: (2+INT bonus)/levelClass skills: TBD (similar to wizard list)Abilities:Spellcasting: At 1st, 2nd, 6th, & 7th levels, the metacaster gains one level of arcane casting ability.Bonus feats: At 2nd level, and every even-numbered level thereafter, the metacaster chooses a bonus feat. This feat must be a metamagic feat.Metamagic Casting: At each level of Metacaster, the character gain a bonus spell slot to cast spells that have been modified by a metamagic feat(s). The level of the modified spell cannot exceed the class level of the metacaster. These spells are prepared as normal for the base arcane casting class.For example, a wizard5/metacaster5 can cast 4-0th, 4-1st, 3-2nd, and 1-4th level spell (plus any bonus spells gained by virtue of a high INT score). In addition, he can cast 5 other spells of up to 5th level, as long as each has been modified by a metamagic feat.**************************So, is it worth trading 6 caster levels for five metamagic feats? Probably not, but it would make for a different NPC, that's certain.</blockquote>
