01-09-05, 07:42 AM If a Fireball is Enlarged (which I think involves taking it up one slot) to be a 4th level spell, it still does damage according to CL, I presume.

So that would mean that a scroll of Enlarged Fireball would do 7d6 of damage, not 5d6, right?

Note: it's still considered a third level spell for everything else, such as save DC's, ability to penitrate globes of invulnerabilities, etc.

Once the spell is on the scroll, anyone who could use a normal version of the spell could use the metamagic'd version. same as a sorcerer who doesn't know how to cast fireball could still use a fireball scroll, it's available to them, they just never learned to do it themselves.
