All other metamagic does not change the spell's level. The rods work on 3rd level or lower spells. Even if it takes up a 5th level slot, an empowered fireball is 3rd level. 3/ I have caster level 10, not 9 from the ioun stone. I can memorize more mage armor if you "really" think it's relevant. So empowered maximized fireball + quickened empowered fireball is legal using my items. 4/ Luckstone to AC my bad. (fixed)5/ I thought clerics had all the animal  buffs, they don't (fixed) "The cohort should be equipped with gear appropriate for it's level" does NOT mean "the cohort arrives with gear" it means "you need to equip him appropriately " otherwise he's going to leave you. The interpretation of  the leadership penalty for having a familiar is extremely dubious . That would be like setting up a stronghold, staying put for a month, then getting all your followers, packing up and selling the stronghold and keeping all the followers. It's bunk. If you have a familiar you're at -2 to your cohort's effective level. He doesn't like your divided attention.</blockquote>
