[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7312331, member: 6880599"] 1. means that sorcerers have more higher level spell slots at a whim. They can do it already but it takes time to convert and their is a loss in points. Casting strait from points means that font of magic is not required so sorcerers could start with 10 level 5 slots for example but switch so lower slots easily. That also becomes more complicated at level 11 since they magic font limits conversion to level 5 slots. If your allowing higher level slots and using the same pool then you end up creating higher costs that don't exist for those spell slots but in order to prevent 9th level spell over flow you make them so expensive that using high level spells basically strips sorcerers of meta magic's and lower level spells slots or you make them cheep enough not to burn all there sorcery points and lower level spells slots then they just cast 4 level 9 spells and destroy everything. --- Broken 2. So no font of magic and unless they picked twinned or something with high cost then they never use all their points resulting in a large amount of wasted points at higher levels and a bit of nerf... and why? Not much of an effect at lower levels. 3. Again not font of magic, basically the same as 2 the result is again waste of sorcery points and nerfing the class at higher levels, will not matter much at lower levels. 4. This is massively broken if you can still make spell slots and if you can't then you will at higher levels just always be able to use sorcery points and meta magic. It would be the same effect of making meta magic static abilities with the exception of Twinned spell which is the only one that has a cost higher than 1 or 3(heightened spell). Twined being twice the spell level used, so just limit it to once per short rest and make the others automatic and remove spell slot creation. [/QUOTE]
