[QUOTE="Philip, post: 1219862, member: 10993"] For Exalted Arcanist you have to get two metamagic feats, Consecrate Spell and Purify Spell. Those feats are only applicable to damage dealing spells, and the last one only truly appropriate for an area of effect spell. Sorcerers don't have that many spells, so the usefullness of these feats is not that great. My character would be now a Pal2/Sor7 after conversion. If he became an Exalted Arcanist after that, he would be a 11th lvl character before he could throw his first 8d6 Purified Fireball, jay :( . Metamagic feats become less and less usefull if you don't gain enough caster levels because they take higher levels slots you, which you just don't have.... Besides, wizards (and other classes) get immediate access to the new Book of Exalted Deeds spells, while the Sorcerer has to take a prestige class to get access. That just doesn't sound fair to me.... Oh yes, taking a full five levels he gets to cast sanctified spells. Clerics don't have to do anything for that! As for the other powers. I am not very impressed by a reduced casting time for purified or consecrated spells. I just think I am better of just staying a straight Pal2/SorcererX and possible picking up a Consecrate Spell feat regardless, instead of losing a caster level by taking the prestige class. That way I get too keep the flavor too, without compromising too much on casting ability... [/QUOTE]
