Having metamagic is cool, until you get into the detailsdetailsCareful spell- only works for blasting and some combat spells like sleep.distant spell- this is a cool oneEmpower - a blaster metamagic, passHeighten- can be useful for certain fringe spells that force savong throws, but most useful for blastingQuicken -another good one, but the hard limit of 1 non cantrip per turn hurts Subtle - this is the kind of metamagic that is both flavorful and has some utility if you just had silence in your spell list...Twinned- good at low level and increasingly useless, the kind of spells you want to twin are spells that already grow to include extra targets. Of course it is very good for magic misile but again that is blastingThe widespread need of concentration and reduction of utility of the spells themselves coupled with getting too little variety of them overall and at any time-not to mention you cannot just decide to change them tomorrow- is what I mean by reduced versatility.Ok lets compare like with likeBard Gets one extra skillGets expertise Chance of an extra skillBuilt in single target buffingSpell list focussed on utility and buffingHas light armor and the chance of even better armorGets d8 for hit diceGets all simple weapons and four martial ones. Has more spells known .Has ritual casting SorcererGets the standard issue two skills from a limited listGets toy weaponsNo armor, but dragon ones have the equivalent to good light armorGets d6 for hit dice - 1 extra if dragonSpell list of limited utility mostly combat spells but specially blastingLess spells knownNo ritual casting The so called extra slots are spent quickly in metamagic that given the limited spell list only work for blastingThe slot to point conversion is lossy so in the end it might even end up with less castings each dayThe only good thing, more cantrips than anybody else -yay</blockquote>
