Idea for metamagic feat: Pierce SR

Forrester

First Post
Just occurred to me that casters up against creatures with SR constantly might benefit from a feat that allowed their spells to pierce SR with more frequency.

Suppose a feat gave a caster +3 to pierce SR for every level they cast the spell at higher than the usual level. For instance, one could cast Hold Monster as a 7th level spell and get +9 on his SR check.

What do you think? Unbalanced? It's not as though they still don't get a saving throw. Though Enervates that always pierced might get kind of scary, I s'pose.

Hmmmmmm.

Currently Spell Penetration gives a +2 and Greater Spell Penetration gives +4 (I know GSP isn't core, but it's in the FRCS and Epic rules).

Using that as a metric I think +3/level might be a little high.
