[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 1865075, member: 19130"] I meant that you couldn't double-maximize the meteor swarm. I interpret that clause of the rod ("A caster may only use one metamagic rod on any given spell, but it is permissible to combine a rod with metamagic feats possessed by the rod’s wielder.") to mean other metamagic feats besides the one that the rod "stores the essence of." Only one metamagic rod, only one iteration of any one effect, but any number of actual feats, in other words. And less than half is a lot to spend on something that isn't going to increase their survivability. That wizard's going to be either a very one-trick pony or extremely easy to kill. And I doubt he'd win initiative over all of us. And, actually, now that I think of it, since nobody wears armor anymore, he's going to have some trouble hitting with that touch attack for the meteor swarm against characters (and even a pretty good number of monsters).
