[QUOTE="StAlda, post: 1936303, member: 16745"] I just had a quick thought - and so I'm tossing out on to the board. I never liked the idea of metamagic feats taking higher level spell slots. I have had players quasi-abuse this by filling there 2nd level spell slots with damage producing 1st level spells that were silenced or stilled or whatever. This also happen to 4th level spell slots for 3rd level spells. I once before kicked out the idea of - Example: Maximize costing a fourth level slot as opposed to four levels higher. But it was quickly pointed out that at high levels this approach would fall apart. so now the new idea. I really want metamagic feats to take up spell slots and for the feated spell to remain in its normal spell slot. here's the crunch of what I'm thinking: [CODE] Still/Silent/Enlarge/Extend spell slot 2 levels less than spell effected Empower spell slot 1 level less than spell effected Maximize/Widen spell slot of the same level as spell effected Quicken spell slot 1 level higher than spell effected [/CODE] Comments?
