Change Took away caster level progression at 10th, added requisite to the Death Spell metamagic feat.   Changed requisites to disclude Skill Focus (spellcraft) since Spell Focus (necromancy) is now a requisite for Death Spell, so 5 feats as requisite was 1 too many.-Changed Extra Specialziation to Enhanced Specialization, thanks Cheiromancer and Beholder Bob <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Beholder Bob-With the new change in Death Spell, the Fort save for that Finger of Death will be 1 point (3.5e) or 2 points (3e or 3.5e) higher, and said spellcaster might even pick up Greater Spell Focus in Necromancy and Spellcasting Prodigy (FRCS), if it's allowed.  I think since the DC of the Death Spell metamagic feat is dependant on the damage dealt, and isn't effected by other feats, it's fair-especially considering the DC comparison in your example is by a whopping 6 points (30% difference of dying there), and that's without the change.  Let's not forget using Death Spell requires you to take the metamagic feat, and in your example, a second metamagic feat to pull off that combo.Cheiromancer-I gave them no spellcaster progression on 10th level, I hope that balances things a little.  By the time they get Final Utterance they're level 16, and the PCs *should* be afraid of a Death Magus <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  At least PW: K doesn't effect those with more than 50 hps for the targetting version, so if the battle is swift it may potentially do nothing at all.Thanks again for the comments <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
