I have a question. Are the metamagic feats that apply to Spell Like Abilities counted as Metamagic feats?
I'm wondering in terms of a later-level Warlock build.
Energy Substitution is a Metamagic that doesn't change Spell Slot Level. Sudden ____ metamagics do not change spell slot level either, and the entry on Invo's and feats suggest that Sudden ____ feats can be taken for Invos because they don't change spell level to function.
So my assumption is Energy Sub works the same way.
The only Essence that allows a Warlock to do anything to creatures with SR is Vitriolic Blast (Acid). But there are some highSR creatures that are immune to Acid, so it would probably be worth (1) feat to be able to change Acid to something like Electricity or Cold for those moments when you're going to be facing acid-proof SR-heavy creatures.
Question being, can you hook Empower Spell-Like Ability to qualify for Energy Substitution?
And if not, other than the Suddens (which usually need another metamagic themselves) does anybody know of any other Spell-level independant Metamagic that a 'lock could grab? Still Spell 1/Day is too high a price, I think, for such a feat-hungry class.
