[QUOTE="silasfly, post: 165076, member: 1524"] [b]I think it could be better[/b] I don't really get excited about this feat, mostly because part of it's benefit is just a higher DC. The player has already taken two feats that just raise the DC's of their illusion spells, and personally I would be ready to take a feat that actually does something interesting. Feats that only give me a numeric bonus really bore me. The True Seeing part is cool though. Just a thought: since no other metamagic feats are limited to one school, and since this feat has tough pre-req's, what if you combined several other metamagic feats into one. But just for illusion spells. Something like, Empower Illusion You may cast Illusion spells as if you had any of the following metamagic feats: Empower Spell, Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, Heighten Spell. Each time you cast a spell you may use only one of these feats at a time, unless you actually have that particular feat. You may also cast an illusion that is not automatically seen through by True Seeing or similar spells, etc., by spending a spell level slot one higher than normal. This ability cannot be combined with other Empower Illusion abilities. [/QUOTE]
