Sudden metamagic and item creation

[Thanee]

It doesn't really say it directly, but this should at least give a good hint at it:

Using metamagic feats, a caster can place spells in items at a higher level than normal.

With the right item creation feat, you can store a metamagic version of a spell in a scroll, potion, or wand. Level limits for potions and wands apply to the spell’s higher spell level (after the application of the metamagic feat).

Thanks for that. As you say it does not state but does hint. However this is a contradiction to the description of the individual metamagic feats. This is the section.

METAMAGIC FEATS
As a spellcaster’s knowledge of magic grows, she can learn to cast spells in ways slightly different from the ways in which the spells were originally designed or learned. Preparing and casting a spell in such a way is harder than normal but, thanks to metamagic feats, at least it is possible. Spells modified by a metamagic feat use a spell slot higher than normal. This does not change the level of the spell, so the DC for saving throws against it does not go up.

...

Effects of Metamagic Feats on a Spell: In all ways, a metamagic spell operates at its original spell level, even though it is prepared and cast as a higher-level spell. Saving throw modifications are not changed unless stated otherwise in the feat description.

...

Magic Items and Metamagic Spells: With the right item creation feat, you can store a metamagic version of a spell in a scroll, potion, or wand. Level limits for potions and wands apply to the spell’s higher spell level (after the application of the metamagic feat).

So you calculate the scrolls cost as if it were a higher level spell even though the spell is not a higher level spell.

The spirit of the rules indicate that the an extended (or sudden extended) mage armor would therefore be a 2nd level spell to put on a scroll. Oh well. I thought I'd found a cool use for some metamagic feats of my cleric. Back to the books.

Absolutely not.

The section you quote is about spellcasting with metamagic.
