StevenO 10-08-07, 11:49 PM	Heighten Spell may be useful to make dispelling your Mage Armor harder. Other than that (and Extend) I can't think of any more metamagics that would work very well with Mage Armor. You may be able to persuade a DM to allow Empower to increase the AC bonus but according to the RAW that is not possible as the AC boost is not at all random.
Someone 10-09-07, 12:33 AM	Yeah, an extended mage armor can be really useful. Cast once, and you're good for the rest of the day. Though you're probably better off using a lesser rod of metamagic (extend) than an actual spell slot...
runestar 10-09-07, 12:36 AM	Heighten spell does not make your mage armour any easier to dispel, since that is a function of caster lv, not spell lv. I am not too sure about the usefulness of extend spell. Is there a reason why I might prefer to use 1 2nd lv slot instead of 2 first lv slots? Or in the very least, I am indifferent between the 2, though I prefer splitting them up, so that I at least have a 2nd one in store in case the 1st one is dispelled.
