[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 6610957, member: 6790260"] Wow, "categorical traitor"? Really? Pretty strong words for something trivially easily done at 1st level...particularly if said Sorcerer is (for example) someone who flunked out of Wizard school, but kept the books because "why not, I already own them and they're useful." 1: Uh...no it wouldn't? The hypothetical "School of Metamagic" would just need to encourage certain spells--for example, perhaps you must pick two metamagic effects and can't ever get any more. Then you'll be encouraged to apply them to those spells which can be metamagic'd in those ways, and the school-provided spells would be ones amenable to as many forms of metamagic as possible. 2: It's unique to the Wizard, so I don't see the problem there. Particularly because the power of metamagic "cannot be found within spells," which you notably left unbolded--emphasizing a different side of the same sentence would make it fully compatible. 3: I don't see metamagic as being that un-"subtle." Particularly when compared to the School of Divination's Portent (a very powerful ability) or Evocation's Sculpt Spells (which is, itself, effectively a form of always-on metamagic--shaping areas). "Valid" and "significant" are two different things. [/QUOTE]
