Feats

Arcane Defence [General]

Prerequisites: Spell Focus in chosen school
Benefit: Add +2 to your saving throws against spells of the chosen school
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times; each time applies to a new school.

Arcane Preparation [General]

Prerequisites: You must be able to cast spells as a bard or sorcerer
Benefit: You may prepare spells ahead of time, as a wizard does. This means you can prepare a spell with a metamagic feat ahead of time instead of casting it as a full round action.

Energy Substitution [Metamagic]

Prerequisites: Any other metamagic feat, 5 ranks in Knowledge (Arcana)
Benefit: Choose one type of energy: acid, cold, electricity, fire or sonic. You can modify a spell with an energy descriptor to use the chosen type of energy instead. A substituted spell works in all respects except the type of damage caused. A substituted spell uses a spell slot of the spell’s normal level modified by any other metamagic feats.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times; each time applies to a new energy type.

Extra Slot [General]

Prerequisites: Spellcaster level 4+
Benefit: You gain one extra slot in your daily allotment. This extra slot can be at any level up to one lower than the highest level spell you can cast. Once selected, the extra slot does not migrate up or down in level.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times.

Subdual Substitution [Metamagic]

Prerequisites: Any other metamagic feat, 5 ranks in Knowledge (Arcana)
Benefit: Choose one type of energy: acid, cold, electricity, fire or sonic. You can modify a spell with the chosen designator to inflict subdual damage instead of energy damage. A substituted spell works in all respects except the type of damage caused. A subdual spell uses a spell slot of the spell’s normal level modified by any other metamagic feats.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times; each time applies to a new energy type.

Sculpt Spell [Metamagic]

Prerequisites: Any other metamagic feat
Benefit: You can modify an area spell by changing the area’s shape. The new area must be chosen from the following list: cylinder (10’ radius, 30’ high); cone (40’ long); ball (20’ radius) cubes (four 10’ cubes). A sculpted spell works in all respects except the type of damage caused. A subdual spell uses a spell slot of the spell’s normal level modified by any other metamagic feats.

Chain Spell [Metamagic]

Prerequisites: Any other metamagic feat
Benefit: You can chain any spell that specifies a single target and has a range greater than touch. The chained spell affects its target (the primary target) normally then arcs to a number of secondary targets equal to your caster level. You choose the secondary targets as you like but they must all be within 30’ of the primary target and no target can be affected more than once. You can affect fewer targets than the maximum.

If the chained spell deals damage, the secondary targets each take half as many dice of damage as the primary target (round down) and can attempt Reflex saving throws for half of the damage. For spells that do not cause damage, the DCs against arcing targets are reduced by 4.

A chained spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

Repeat Spell [Metamagic]

Prerequisites: Any other metamagic feat
Benefit: A repeated spell is automatically cast again at the beginning of your next turn in the next round. No matter where you are, the second spell originates from the same location and affects the same area as the original spell. You cannot use this feat on spells with a touch range. If the original spell designates a target, the repeated spell affects the same target if it is within 30’ of the original position; otherwise the second spell fails. A repeated spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell’s actual level.
