Message: <blockquote data-quote="Benjamin Olson" data-source="post: 8318032" data-attributes="member: 6988941">From the feat: "You gain 2 sorcery points to spend on Metamagic (these points are added to any sorcery points you have from another source but can be used only on Metamagic)." The parenthetical has no significance under the current rules system unless these points are over and above what a Sorcerer normally has when a Sorcerer takes this feat. RAI therefore seems abundantly clear that a level 4 Sorcerer with the feat would start the day with 6 Metamagic points. RAW is arguably ambiguous, but specific rules beat general and a feat is generally considered more specific than a class feature. And, once again, the parenthetical can really only be referring to overriding the normal Sorcerer limit, whereas the language you quote about the Sorcery Point limit was clearly put there to keep people from being able to exceed their limit by burning slots rather than in reference to a feat that wouldn't exist for over 6 years.From a super legalistic RAW perspective they could have phrased the feat a little more clearly and/or should errata the class description. Partly it has to do with a feat writing style choice to be class neutral when referencing abilities even if only one class has that ability at the time the feat is written (which maybe made sense when they started writing feats, but at this point it's pretty clear that this isn't going to be an add-a-bunch-of-classes-later edition). However, I think when you apply the knowledge that the class was written without the feat in mind it becomes clear enough what is intended and you have to cut them some slack for trying to make things written a half decade apart jive with each other.</blockquote>
