03-31-08, 02:06 AM In my campaign, I have a level 2 spirit shaman that took Versatile Spellcaster from Races of the Dragon at level 1. Can he therefore sacrifice 2 level 0 slots to cast level 1 spells thereby increasing his effectiveness greatly? Seems amazing for low level characters.

Yea, he can always burn two slots of N-1 to cast one spell of N level (where N is his highest spell level he can cast or less.)

For a spontaneous caster, this is a must have feat.

04-01-08, 01:19 AM Thank you both of you. I was aware that the feat was good. I was just wondering if any errata came out that excluded 0 level slots from being sacrificed due to the HUGE power level jump from level 0 to level 1. I was not expecting there to be, i just chose to double check.

You're welcome :)

The jump in power from almost any spell level to the next is huge.

Plus, there are at least three quite useful 0th-level spells: Detect Magic, Light, and Prestidigitation.

04-02-08, 09:11 PM the crazy part is... can you metamagic the spell you cast via spell slot sacrificing, since that one doesn't take a slot?

same goes for the arcane fusion and greater arcane fusion spells, but thats a diff discussion.
