Well, there are a number of reasons for that:1. I was planning most of the spells for Grimoire2. Martial Types are notably weaker in 3/3.5E so they needed a bigger boost anyway.3. I was never sure the DDQ route was the way to go for magic.4. Multiclasing is far more prevalent the higher you ascend.See above. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I don't have the 3.5E mojo I used to, but I'll take a look and see if I can spy any flaws. Okay, while it was never released. I did  have planned a number of new metamagic feats for Grimoire. One of which was for a permanent effect (others involved no saves, no spell resistance etc.) However, one difference I had for these effects was that instead of requiring a flat bonus, instead ome required multipliers.So, for instance a Permenant Spell Metamagic Feat would have been a multiplier of about x5 (IIRC).eg. A Permanent Wall of Fire would be a Level 20 spell.I'm sure I have the multipliers for this stuff listed somewhere *goes and has a look through the Grimoire pages*Deadly (Heighten) Spell = +2Remote Spell = +4Sacrifice Spell = x2Teleport Spell = +8Permanent Spell = x6'No Save' Spell = x8Rune Spell (penetrates Anti-Magic) = x6'No Spell Resistance' Spell = x3Contingency Spell = x2Sentient Spell = x4  Those were just my early eyeballing of the multipliers (as its written down on these pages). I like it. I wouldn't make this Metamagic at all, simply a Divine Ability.  Okay.Again, I would have just allowed this with Empower anyway. I wouldn't make this Metamagic at all, simply a Divine ability. This is a real can of worms. Resonating Spell [Divine] [Metamagic]Your magic resounds through all that you perceive.Prerequisites: 12 Metamagic Feats, Spellcraft 73 ranksBenefit: The spell effects every creature within the caster’s Divine Aura. Special: A spell modified by Resonating Spell occupies a slot 7 levels higher.Special: If the caster does not possess a Divine Aura, the spell effects everything within 100 ft. + 10 ft. per Caster Level.Okay. Supreme Metamagic [Divine] [Metamagic]Your mastery of your art is unequalled.Prerequisites: 12 Metamagic Feats, Spellcraft 68 ranksBenefit: Choose a specific Metamagic feat that you possess that modifies a spell’s numerical component in some way. Its effect is doubled. i.e. an Empowered Fireball cast by a wizard with this ability would deal 20d6 instead of 15d6 for a +2 spell-level adjustment. Special: This ability may be taken multiple times, each for a different Metamagic feat. It does not stack with itself.A metamagic feat that multiplies metamagic feats...might be a layer of confusion too many.  Okay.Should only be 8 lots higher, maybe even only 6...? Empower.  I wouldn't make this Metamagic at all, simply a Cosmic ability. Very cool. Although at best I'd say +8 slots. Empower. Multiplier. Empower. I wouldn't make this Metamagic at all, simply a Transcendental ability. Multiplier. Multiplier.</blockquote>
