09-17-06, 11:09 AM I just want to be straight with this before i tell my player the outcome..

If you cast a 3rd level spell with a metamagic effest (say empower) on it, the save is still that of a 3rd level spell, not 5th - right? (otherwise, highten spell would be worth alot less)

Now if that player now scribes that 3rd level spell with a metamagic effect (say empower), it is scribed as a spell that is 5th level but still with saves as though it was 3rd level, right?

Im just checking this out before i say anything to the player, i feel it is a 'take the worst of the two values' scenario.

thanks in advance for the help.

09-17-06, 01:36 PM Scribing is just like casting it. Pick a caster level and metamagic feats, and calculate the price and scroll effects accordingly. So, for a scroll that produces 5 Maximized magic missiles, it would be CL 9th and SL 4th, but the DC would be as for a 1st-level spell (just as if you'd cast it otherwise), and each of 5 targets (or the same target 5 times) would take 5 damage.
