[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2828743, member: 478"] While I havn't tried it yet, I know of others who used something like this (most importantly the spontaneous usability of Quicken Spell) *as a standard (house) rule* without any cost or limit attached, and had no problems (tho, I would suspect that this is a bit much, really). The big thing is only Quicken Spell and the ability to use it spontaneously, the rest is just being able to move and cast, something all other casters can do already. To compare with existing stuff... is this much better than Arcane Preparation (cost is about the same... one feat (using Obtain Familiar as a point of comparison))? I don't think it is much of a difference. The spontaneous use is good, but the daily limit puts a damper on this ability, so you cannot overuse it and will have to decide in every situation, whether it is now a good time to use it, much like with the few prepared spells you have prepared with Arcane Preparation; most often you know what spells you want to use with what metamagic, anyways. Having a few slots prepared beforehand is not such a big deal for a sorcerer. It's probably slightly better, but not that much. And then there are the psionic users, which also can apply their metamagic equivalent spontaneous with no daily limit (but the Psionic Focus limitation instead). Might very well be one reason why we now have this ability. ;) Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
