It takes all the Wizards problems with metamagic away, while continuing to highlight the sorcerors problems, and point them out.Since wizards are already more powerful than sorcerors, this is poor from both a fair-play standpoint, and also a balance standpoint. If we assume this one sentence method is better, of which I am dubious, we also assume game balance is not worth much, I guess, and that no one cares about how the rules impact sorcerors, since as they are terrible no one plays them anyway.With a simple clarification, "Metamagic rods take care of the metamagicking of the spell FOR the caster" we escape preparing the spell as a wizard, AND spending a full round as a sorceror, and its clear to me the intent is for the ROD to do the heavy lifting, not the wizard, and not the sorceror. Since the FAQ entry claims that the Rod does the work for the Wizard, but the Rod does NOT do the work for the Sorceror, I claim the entire FAQ entry is wholly worthless.</blockquote>
