[QUOTE="Oni, post: 268857, member: 380"] From the DnD FAQ: "Can you add a metamagic feat more than once to any particular spell? For example, double Maximize Spell, or double Extend spell? "You can apply most metamagic feats more than once. Just stack up the cost, and remember to apply the additional effects to the basic spell. For example, if you extend a spell twice, you get 3 time the duration, not 4 times the duration. (Each extention adds 100% of the spell's base duration.) "There are a few metamagic feats that are constructed so as to make stacking worthless or pointless. You cannot, for example get more than maximum damage out of a spell by maximizing the spell more than once. (If you want to send the spell's damage through the roof, use Empower Spell multiple times.) Heighten Spell already allows you [set] the spell's effective level anywhere you want (and can manage), so there's no point in applying the feat more than once." So what does this mean. 1. That you can indeed stack metamagic feats, including the same on as many times as you have the appropriate level spell slots to do it, which according to this really seems to have been their original intent. 2. Seeing as there is no precedent in the core rules for buying metamagic feats more than once to use them more than once, it wasn't mentioned in a FAQ dealing with that specific situation, has not been included in any errata to the core rules that I know if (if you have exact text citing that this is not the case show it to me, please), and that buying it multiply times is listed under the special section of Enhance spell, meaning that it specifically relates to that spell, and farther more because they did not decide to list that special note with any other metamagic feat, all of this leads me to believe that you are mistaken Marshall [/QUOTE]
