You can apply the given feat up to 3 times per day to your SLA, to the limit of the number of times you can cast that SLA. You can take this feat multiple times for each Metamagic, or each SLA. You can apply your uses simultaneously, such as a Quicken, Empowered Maximized SLA if you have the feats, or you can spread them out. Each use is counted separately against each feat's limit of 3 per day. Take the level of the Metamagic, and the Spell level to find the minimum caster level required to cast that SLA with that Metamagic: Metamagic (X) +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 1st 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 2nd 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 3rd 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 4th 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 5th 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 6th 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 7th 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 8th 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 9th 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 CL = Caster Level SL = Spell level affected X = Metamgic bonus factors CL = (SL+X)*2 SL = CL/2 - X X = CL/2-SL Metamagic Feats +0 == Black Lore of Moil CA Not allowed Born of the 3 Thunders CA Requires Energy Sub (Electric) SLA, Know (nature) 4 ranks Cooperative CA Not allowed Energy Substitution CA Requires Know (arcana) 5 ranks Lord of the Uttercold CA Requires Know (arcana (9 ranks), En Sub (cold), cold SLA Sanctum CA Requires another Metamagic SLA +1 == Consecrate CD,BoED Good Corrupt CD,BoVD Evil Enlarge PHB Extend PHB Purify BoED Good Rapid CD Not needed for an SLA? - am I right, all are Standard actions? Still PHB Not needed for an SLA Silent PHB Not needed for an SLA Nonlethal Substitution CA,BoED Requires Know (arcana) 5 ranks, any Metamagic SLA Sculpt CA Requires any Metamagic SLA Transdimensional CA Violate BoVD +2 == Boost BoVD Same as Heighten, different name Empower PHB Explosive CA Fortify CA Can only be used for +4 CL Heighten CA Can only be used for +2 DC Reach CD Split Ray CA Requires another Metamagic SLA +3 == Chain CA Requires another Metamagic SLA Delay CA Requires another Metamagic SLA Maximize PHB CA says this should only be a +2 equivalent?!? Repeat CA Widen PHB +4 == Energy Admixture CA Requires Energy Substitution SLA feat first Enhance ELH Requires Maximize Quicken PHB Twin CA Requires another Metamagic SLA +6 == Persistent CA +7 == Intensify ELH Requires Empower, Maximize, Know (arcana) 30 ranks +X == Improved Heighten ELH You can add as much to your save DC as you CL will allow above But that doesn't really improve on what is out there. You can stack SLA enahacements, so you could end up with a Maximized, Empowered, Quickened SLA by taking 3 of these, and choosing to apply them all to one casting. You could take Quicken SLA more than once, and get 6 more applications. But I think you want something more Epic. How about this: Feat: Epic Metamagic Spell-Like Ability [Epic] Prereq: Metamagic Spell-like Ability (any spell-like ability) When you take this feat, you can then apply the given Metamgic feat to your chosen SLA, as often as you can cast it. The required caster level for this ability increases by 2 levels. This would result in a Auto-Quicken for the cost of one Epic feat after taking Quicken SLA, but only for that one SLA. I don't think that would be overpowered for an Epic Feat. You have to look at what abuses someone with Innate Spell could do. You could take Innate Spell (True Strike), Quicken SLA (True Strike), and Epic Quicken SLA (True Strike) to get a free +20 to hit every round, for 1 epic feat, and 2 non-epic, as well as giving up an 8th level slot. Better than a wizard could do, since his number of Quickened True Strikes with Auto-Quicken would be much more limited than infinite. Perhaps the caster level requirement should be increased as well, but I don't know. +2 is the current difference between spell levels. Taking the Epic feat could make it be a required caster level of the Metamagic bonus again - so you would use the +8 column if you took Epic Quicken, but +4 if you took Epic Empower. And +14 if you took Epic Intensify. That might be better. ROB
goro 04-19-07, 09:26 PM	Thats the exact kind of abuse I wanted to do with it. But more along the lines of Innate spell + (intensify spell + energy substitution + high damage spell) + (metamagic) SLA + multispell
