[QUOTE="JChung2003, post: 907605, member: 7608"] Don't get me wrong! I agree that metamagic makes sorcery powerful. I'm just saying if you're the kind of wizard who isn't into broadening his spell selection, like the last few posters were, you may find it useful to apply metamagic feats -- of which you are likely to have as many, if not more of, than a sorcerer, because of wizard bonus feats -- to your spells. Additionally, applying metamagic to your spells as a wizard does not require you to make spellcasting a full round action like it does for sorcerers (ed. note: removed incorrect portrayal of metamagicked sorcerer spell as a one round spell). Alternatively, a wizard might gain item creation feats as his bonus feats, making himself a self-styled "sorcerer" who not only can use his crafted magic items to emulate the spells/day a sorcerer can cast but can make them more cheaply than a sorcerer can (see the item creation price charts for details). Alternatively, a wizard might gain the feats that make his spells harder to resist (Spell Focus, Spell Penetration). It's a given that a specialist wizard will get the Spell Focus feat in the school of magic of his choice. [/QUOTE]
