Taking the feat gives you the class skill, and perhaps sorcerors get the skill as a class skill to start (that would solve some of this under-powered sorceror problem). DC = 15 + (spell level)*(metamagic modifier).Metamagic ModifersSilent, Still, Enlarge, Extend : 3Empower, Widen, Maximize : 4Quicken : 5etc, etcFor example, I want to cast a stilled magic missile, and I'm a 7th level caster with 10 ranks + 4 int = +14 in "metamagic". I roll versus DC (15 + 3 = 18). Easy right? Cuz its a level 1 spell. But if I was 20th level with +40 in the skill, casting a quickened 9th level spell would be 1d20 + 40 vs. DC 60. Not so easy.Note that I don't really want to defend this system as effective or efficient (cuz I think original is fine and has a lot less numbers). But it might solve your problem.OR you can do it like thisMetamagic ModifersSilent, Still, Enlarge, Extend : 1Empower, Widen, Maximize : 2Quicken : 3the feat would only allow for CROSS-CLASS, and the sorceror gets the class skill, making them the kings of metamagic.</blockquote>
