[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1781624, member: 478"] Well, I'm pretty sure that leaving the uses/day at 3 for all feats is such a good idea. Sure the lower spell level is a decent limit already, but we are still talking about a difference between making a spell persistent or still for the same cost (one feat). There should be some incentive to use the "weaker" feats and I don't think the level difference by itself is enough of that, since the main cost of that difference, the usage of higher level slots, has been removed. Another problem arises with the +0 level feats, which normally can be used on every spell in a day easily; 3/day seems rather low in comparison. And while Empower is one of the best feats for its efficiency ("only" +2 levels added), the high power metamagic feats are the ones, that seem to be the best overall (Quicken, for example, [i]is[/i] very powerful even with the limit to low level spells; Twin Spell is also fairly powerful and we all know about the power of Persistent Spell, especially if you don't need that 7th level slot to make a 1st level spell persistent then). Mainly, I'm worried, that this would push the "weaker" metamagic feats even further into the shadows, therefore I came up with the staged number of uses/day to give some incentive to choose those. Also it makes sense, since you have more spells to use them on (more total spell levels), that you can use them more often in a day. This just makes it overall more pleasant, I think.
