Someone quote me the text for the metamagic feat Fell Drain, cuz I want to make sure that applying it to Burning Blood from CA doesn't cause a negative level each round.

The wording relevant is "any living creature that is dealt damage also gains a negative level".

I think this is pretty clear that it's limited to a single negative level per spell, not per round or per occurance of damage.

How about Fell drain Chill touch? Be an enlightened fist. Open up with a flurry, casting FD chill touch. Deal a negative level and possibly a point of Str damage...

Next round, flurry again. With normal flurry and a BAB of 11, thats 4 attacks - and at caster level 13, you can flurry for three rounds before casting it again (not including the first round). Not amazing, but pretty good for a 3rd level spell.

Throw in PAO into a form that grants some good Multiweapon fighting, and you're really in business.

Oh ya, and remember that Chill touch remains active until you cast another touch spell (Duration: Instantanious, 1 touch/level).

By the wording of Fell Drain you would only be able to apply the Negative level once to each enemy you Chill Touch.

Area spells or X Sphere spells are a better use of Fell Drain. Or, use Horizikaul's Cough from Magic of Faerun: 0-level, deals 1 damage at Short range to anyone without total cover/concealment.
