Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kilroy" data-source="post: 1946604" data-attributes="member: 5299">Metamagic is mostly useless unless you plan to use it a lot.  Taking a feat for something that only comes up a couple times in a campaign is a waste, unless the couple times it comes up provides as much cumulative benefit as a different feat that applies several times each day, fight or game would.I've had one character use Metamagic, and that was a 3.0 Incantatrix, which totally broke the game.  With a Lesser Rod of Maximize, spontaneous Metamagic as a sorceror, Improved Metamagic and free Metamagic 1/day as an Incantatrix, I could drop a silly pile of power onto single spells, and those spells more often than not ended combats before they started.  (We were playing without the Sudden Metamagic feats, or it would have been even worse.)There's nothing quite like the look of horror on the DM's face when his big bad boss melee monster gets hit by a Split Maximized Twin Empowered Ray of Enfeeblement and goes from a mid 40+ Strength to a 1, no save.  Not bad for a 5th level spell.</blockquote>
