[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 832117, member: 2067"] Yeah, that's right, the 1/2 does get wonky... Okay, I think I like Gez's idea, too...so the new rule would be: ***Metamagic feats don't increase the level of the spell cast (e.g.: use the same slot). However, you must be able to cast spells of the modified level in order to make use of a metamagic feat. Also, you must pay a slot of the spell level that it increases it by.*** So you could only do a quickened magic missile when you could cast 5th level spells, and it would suck up a 4th level and a 1st level slot.... This ditches the wonky 1/2 rule, and still preserves the whole idea of not blowing your highest level slot on a weak spell made pretty. I'm still not sure if a 4th level slot is worth it, but it's at least somewhat better...:) It could also be that they spend slots of that level equal to the level adjustment...I might be comfy with that, too...
